"Any idea that we could have had of God that is unlike Jesus would not be true about God."
Francois du Toit
"He is the exact likeness of the unseen God, the visible representation of the invisible. We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen."
Colossians 1:15
We may have heard that God is distant, demanding, or angry. Yet we can know what He is truly like by simply looking at Jesus, God made manifest in a human body. God acts just like Jesus! And Jesus sat down with the poor and the sinners and ate with them. He took little children in His arms and blessed them. He had compassion on the hurting and healed the sick. He said He came to find the lost, give rest to the weary, and light the way for those in the darkness. He never harmed a single soul but went about doing good. When people killed Him, He simply asked that they be forgiven, then reversed their murder and came out of the tomb with His arms open wide in love. That is what God is like. He is obviously not distant, demanding or angry. He is understanding, accepting, warm, friendly, kind, gentle, loving and forgiving. Jesus puts a face on God, and it's a loving face!
A thought: Jesus shows what God is really like - Unconditional Love!
