Her mother had been trying to share the Christian faith with her daughter, and so she said, "I thought God was your best friend, not Teddy." Her daughter replied, "Teddy has a face."
Sometimes God can seem a bit fuzzy, a faceless person. From time to time we may all wonder, "What is God really like?"
The Bible has an answer to that question. What is God like? God is like Jesus. In fact, Jesus puts a face on God. He shows us what God looks like. God "looks" like Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus is "the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15)". He has made the invisible God visible. When we look at Jesus, we’re seeing God at work. And that’s how we know for sure that we are loved by God -- Jesus told us so! "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you" (John 15:12).
Let’s pray and give God thanks for sending
us Jesus:
Thank You, God, that You have sent Jesus
to teach us about You, the invisible God. Thank You that Jesus has made
Your love so visible and so real. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
