All Things New

People often share stories about very weird things they have seen. Some people say they have seen Bigfoot. Some say they have seen aliens and their spaceships. Some even say they have seen Elvis recently. But have you ever seen God?

The Bible does say “. . . You cannot see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.” (Exodus 33:20). We cannot physically see the face of God. But we are told in Psalm 11:7 that “. . . the upright shall behold His face.” And Matthew 5:8 tells us that the pure in heart will see God. John explains to us in his Gospel that Jesus came to this earth to make God (whom no one has ever seen) known. Are these contradictions? No. Through a relationship with Jesus, we CAN experience the presence of God.

We see God’s face in moments of worship and surrender. We see His face as we serve Him and He empowers us. We see His face when we see changed lives. We see His face in the beauty of creation. We also see His face in the wonder of children being born. Only those who have by faith trusted in Jesus and who choose to live a life surrendered to Him will experience the presence of God in their lives.

Let us look for His face as we continually serve Him.
