Introduction: Jesus Christ God's Love Made Visible

No one I know has ever seen God. So how can we know him, if we’ve never seen him? It’s difficult to imagine this in a day and age when we can see people in so many different ways – face-to-face, on television, over the Internet. But for most of human history, important people – like the king or queen, for example – would have been invisible – unseen – by most of the population. How did they know the king or queen actually existed if they’d never seen them?

The Portrait of God

Perhaps one of the most important ways people knew their kings and queens in history, was through portraits. They at least made it possible for people to know a likeness of their ruler. Jesus Christ is God's love made visible. Jesus is God’s portrait. Actually, he’s much more than that. He is the complete expression of God in human form. If you want to know what God looks like, then look at Jesus.

Revealing God to Us

In his gospel, John wrote:

No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

John 1:18 (NLT)

Jesus reveals God to us. By studying the life and teachings of Jesus, we can come to understand the character and nature of God. Through his actions and words, Jesus shows us what it means to love, to forgive, and to serve others.

Getting to Know Jesus

If we want to know God, we need to get to know Jesus. We can do this by reading about him in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as well as the rest of the Bible. As we study and meditate on the life of Jesus, we will come to know God more intimately. We will see his love, mercy, and grace shining through Jesus' interactions with people.

Conclusion

Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God to humanity. Through him, we can know and experience the love and grace of our Heavenly Father. Let us continue to seek Jesus and allow his life and teachings to shape our understanding of God's love.
