"Christ shewed me His Father; in no bodily likeness, but in His property and in His working. That is to say, I saw in Christ [all] that the Father is."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 22)
If we want to know what the Father is like, we can look at Jesus. He came to show us God's character and working. He is the perfect expression of God the Father, the complete image of God in visible form. The ones who have tried to explain God before were incomplete in their knowledge and in their picture of God. But Jesus, who came right from the Father's embrace in heaven, declared to us and showed us exactly what the Father is like. And this is the picture of God He gave us: a God who loved children and held them on His lap, a God who was moved with compassion for hungry and hurting people, a God who reached out to touch lepers and heal them, who loved hanging out with outcasts and failures, who never hurt a soul but always helped people, who fed those who were in need and treated as equals those society often treated unequally. And finally, He showed us a God who forgave people of every sin against Him, even the sin of murdering Him, and who reached out His arms to embrace us at our very worst and bring healing to our wounded hearts! Christ has shown us once and for all that our God is the kindest, gentlest, most loving and wonderful Father of all!
"No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known]."
John 1:18 (AMPC)
A Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing us the Father!
