More on Language


L just did a horse camp for kids and she told me about this object lesson she used.

They have a horse from the wild there who has not been worked with much. He did not know L and so she was working with him to develop trust. Since he has not been worked with, he only speaks "horse" not "human". So Laura was trying, in her human body, to act out some horse body language. The horse was getting it to some degree. So Laura said to the kids, "How much better do you think he would understand me if I actually had the body of a horse?" That's what God did for us. He became a man. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
