John 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time, but the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the the Father, He has explained Him." John 14:9 "...he who has seen Me has seen the Father." Colossians 1:15 "...He (Jesus) is the exact representation of the invisible God..."
A 5-year-old was busy drawing a picture of an old man, bald and bearded, when his Sunday School teacher walked over and asked him who he was drawing. "It's God", the boy explained, whereupon the teacher said, "But Johnny, no one knows what God looks like." "They do now.", Johnny answered manner-of-factly.
God is essentially a spirit, so Johnny's teacher was right in saying that no one knows what He looks like. Physically, that is. However, Scripture tells us that in Jesus we discover who God is and what He "looks like"...His character.
Consider this...God is in the process of making us look like Jesus (Rom 8:29). His goal is that people will see Him in us. In a small way, just like Jesus, we too can "explain God", show people what He looks like. Wow!!! Question...what will others think of the "God" they see in you?
Lord, please control my attitudes, my motives, my words and actions so those with whom I interact today might see more of You than of me.
