What amazes me about Jesus, is that He stepped down from the throne and became one of us. Jesus arrived to visit His friends, His creation. He lived with us, we talked to Him, then we crucified Him.
People say God is invisible, unknowable, beyond comprehension. God is not invisible or unknowable, and definitely not beyond our comprehension. God was present with us, two thousand years ago.
One phrase in the scripture that tells us everything we need to know about God. That one phrase is, "God is love".
1 John 4:8
The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
amen good thoughts especially this part
“People say God is invisible, unknowable, beyond comprehension. God is not invisible or unknowable, and definitely not beyond our comprehension.
God was present with us, two thousand years ago
amen the gospel is how we can know him in truth but still
“For
we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away.
For
now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
1 Corinthians 13:9-10, 12-13 KJV
We are still waiting to see his face remember this is Jesus too
“and was
transfigured before them: and
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake,
behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And
Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes,
they saw no man, save Jesus only.”
Matthew 17:2-8 KJV
But it always was Jesus even before he became flesh he was still the same this is the same guy who became flesh so men could stand and talk with him rather than this relationship
“then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and
there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
And,
behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O
Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent.
And
when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Then said he unto me,
Fear not, Daniel: for
from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.”
Daniel 10:5-6, 8-12 KJV
several times like with Paul
“And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and
suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
And Saul arose from the earth; and
when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
(God sends the Christian Ananias to convert him with Gods message for Saul )
….And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and
he received sight forthwith, and
arose, and was baptized.”
Acts 9:3-5, 8-9, 18 KJV
This part is true also Jesus glorified is Jesus exalted high above us all and it’s why people say that part
“that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of
our Lord Jesus Christ: which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords;
who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”
1 Timothy 6:14-16 KJV
He came to earth as a man so we would t hide in fear like men do when he comes near and they lose strength and faint and feel like they will die he stepped down in the flesh so we can understand how to be children of God and know him
“And we know that
the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20 KJV
“
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the
Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
And
the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
John 1:1-4, 9-14, 16 KJV
That is true but so is this part which is the unfathomable part some talk about
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have
finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ( that’s what the gospel is )
And
now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
…..
John 17:4-5KJV
glorified Christ when seen and heard always becomes like this because we’re still part flesh
“His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and
his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
Revelation 1:14-18 KJV
finally it’s revelaed who keeps showing up and men faint before every time and feel as they are dead
Abraham also had the same experience adam also his from God in fear the children of Israel begged and said “well die if he speaks with us anymore “
God has always remained the same man has changed a lot back and forth so he appears dofferent to
Men but
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
we only know in part still though like Paul says
