Not Seen

 

Not Seen

A common greeting between friends who have been long separated and accidentally encounter a chance meeting; “I have not seen you in forever.” The Black Hills of North Dakota has been on my want to see list for all my adult life. Yet, I have never seen its wondrous sculptures. There are many things that we have not seen. If you are reading this you live. Therefore you have not seen the face of God.

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 5:37) And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 1 Timothy 6:13I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14
That thoukeep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 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 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.’
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”
We don’t have to see a porcupine to know when one has touched us. We, likewise, do not have to see God face to face to know when he touches and blesses us. Know God, know peace. Amen. 03/02/21 BLL
