In Psalm 77, Asaph the Psalmist says, "The sound of
Your thunder was in the whirlwind; lightning lit up the world. The earth quakes
and shook. Your way went through the
sea, and Your path through the great waters, yet Your footprints were
unseen."
The power of the invisible God is displayed all around
us, and cannot escape our notice; but God has not remained unseen as He has
become flesh and has lived and walked among us in the person of Jesus Christ.
This is why when Philip said to Christ, "Show us the Father." Jesus replied "If you have seen Me You
have seen the Father."
In Christ we have the fullness of God in bodily
form. To see Christ was to see God, and
to know Christ is to know God.
This is what is behind Christ's statement in John 17:3,
"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom you have sent." We come to the invisible God through the
visible Son, and we come to know God, through that same Son.
May we all come to know Jesus Christ and know Him well,
so that we can experience the fullness and abundance of eternal life.
