Do You Know Him?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." (From Jn. 1-ESV)

Jesus was "in the beginning."  Jesus "was with God."  Jesus was God."  And since He was God, I assume He still is.  Why is man so reluctant to confess this truth?  Simple.  When I see Jesus, I see God, no speculation, no philosophy, no creation of my own god.  The Bible says a number of times what John 1:18 says, "No one has ever seen God...."  Until the revelation of Jesus Christ, very little was known of the Living Triune God.  Jesus said that "no one comes to the Father, but by Me."  We only know our Father and come to our Father in Jesus. 

"The heavens [do] declare the glory of God."  But "God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."  The key is, "the knowledge...of God in the face of Jesus Christ."  Observe God's ways in the Old Covenant and you see much of what He does.  Observe God in Jesus Christ and you see Who He Is.  Study the Gospels.  Watch Jesus moving and living among men.  That is the Blessed Trinity moving among men.  He is "the same, yesterday, today, and forever," isn't He?  So, as He is in the Gospels, He is today, right there with you, in your house, your office, Washington, Berlin, Jerusalem, to the ends of the earth.  Jesus never had a "plan B."

Father, in Jesus' Name,------------------------ thank You.  Amen
