If God showed himself to you, what would he be like? Around us, people worship gods of gold, made in the image of men. They live in temples and are worshipped by crowds, although they cannot speak, move, or act. But in Ezekiel 1, we’re shown a vision of the true God in all his brilliant glory. He is utterly supreme, burning with holiness, all-seeing, and all-knowing. It is this glorious God that manifested his glory in Jesus. It is this glorious God that demands we leave all other gods to worship him alone.
