No one has ever seen God.
The only Son is the one who has shown us what God is like. He is
himself God and is very close to the Father. John 1:18 (ERV)
Has there ever been a time where you heard about someone before you actually
met them and when you finally had the opportunity to meet them, they were
nothing like the picture you had in your mind?
This is what John is
writing about here, that people before had heard about God, but they had never
met
him. The original word also carries the meaning
experience.
In other words, people before this time may have heard about God, or seen
miracles and wonders, but they still hadn’t
experienced him.
The verse above says that Jesus came to declare him or, in other words, he came to
introduce us to the Creator of the Universe. At Bible League, we are
passionate about accomplishing this ministry that has been passed on to us; to
introduce those in our world to the Creator so that they may experience the
life that he has for them. This, too, is why we are so excited to partner
with people around the world in order to fulfil this great call.
Today,
walk knowing that you have the ability to introduce people in your world to
God; exhibit His Life in all that you do so that all may experience what the
life of a Christian is all about.
