How Do We Explain the Incarnation to a Child?
Question
How can we introduce the process of the Divine Incarnation into the mind of a child?
Answer
Do not try to use intellectual persuasion in order to explain this subject to the child. He accepts it without persuasion and without explanation. For people, at the beginning of their relationship with God, imagine Him in this way: they speak about heaven as being the throne of God, and the commandments as being written by the finger of God. And the hand of God or His right hand that lifts up man, and the watchful eye of God, and the preservation of God by which He engraved us on His palm.
And the Holy Bible itself used all these methods to bring the information closer to the understanding of people, because they cannot comprehend what the Spirit means—“God is Spirit”—and what Divinity means…
Excessive explanations will transfer the child from the level of faith to the intellectual level, and his mind cannot bear it. Thus, you enter into a maze!
