John 14:7
If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
Sts. Philip and James
Seeing and Knowing God
People who have met my parents say I look just like my mother and that I have my father’s temperament. When people see me, they can see part of my parents. In some way, by seeing and knowing me, they begin to know my parents as well. As we take the time to know Jesus and let Scripture penetrate our hearts, we begin to know what God sounds like and how God responds. Through knowing Jesus, we know that God puts love first. This is why Jesus gave up everything so that we may live, love and feel compassion. Through Jesus, we know that God walks with everyone, including those excluded or ignored for any reason. Through Jesus, we know that God is about reconciliation and washing the feet of all, including those who might eventually disappoint us. We know God because we know Jesus. We know God because the face of God is apparent in every face we encounter.
