In this verse you see both God’s transcendence (His ways our higher than our ways…) and God’s immanence (come to me...). Discuss some other spots in this chapter where you see God’s Transcendence and his immanence.

Two weeks ago we discussed The Son and how He is God’s primary way of making Himself known to us. In addition, we discussed that the way to know Jesus (The name of The Son when He became a human being) is through the Bible. Discuss how this truth relates to God’s immanence (nearness and knowableness).
Most of the time people struggle to hold both of these truths about God together. They usually either think of God as near (immanent) and struggle to think of His transcendence. Or they view God as big and great (transcendent) but struggle to realize that He is near and knowable. Discuss as a family/ group which truth you most struggle with when thinking about God.
Spend time praying together that God would have His Spirit grow us in our knowledge about God through His Son Jesus this week. And that we would not just grow in knowledge about God, but also in our desire to know and enjoy God fully.
Knowing God is a community project. In other words, The Spirit teaches us together as a Church. What are one or two simple things you can do together as a group to grow in your knowledge and love for God?
