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)
CHRIST REVEALED GOD TO US
A poem and essay by ILMA
When Christ was born as a human
God was revealed to all of mankind
We may not have seen God visually
But he manifested himself in Christ’s body.
Jesus Christ is God himself
He gave us Jesus to die to ourselves
Follow Christ and you will know God
Seek his truth and constantly bring him laud.

Has anyone seen God with their own eyes? The old testament in the bible talks about encounters with God. Did they really see him? The bible tells us that God is a spirit in John 4:24 and we should worship him in spirit. In Exodus 3 we have an account of Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush. It wasn’t a face to face encounter as we humans might think. In verse 2, it said that an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in a blazing fire from the middle of the bush. In verse 4-5, we learn that Moses wanted to take a closer look at the burning bush but when the Lord saw Moses coming, he told him in verse 5 not to come any closer. In Jesus’ birth, we actually see God himself through the Son.
