“How could I serve an invisible God?”
No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known. (John 1:18)
They never knew there was just one God that made all. They knew Someone or Something created it, yes, but in the image of all, not of One (Romans 1:20-23). Just as we never knew there was something who could let us out of our problems, along there came a Savior on our way.
Which returns me to my question: “How could I serve an invisible God”? The God that created the earth, moon, sky, stars, animals, plants, and ourselves? The one that is worshipped to the ends of the earth? The one in which people have died for many centuries? The one whom I write this blog-evotional every day? The one who sent His son to the cross?
Wait a second… That God unseen, the one many people fight for became man, touching our limited 4-dimensional world. John 3:13 says: “No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.” And what made the difference?
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” (Mark 2:5)
Now I know why I serve an invisible God. My sin made me a paralytic. But Jesus changed that. Jesus is the One, the One unseen for us, but revealed to those who believe in His name.
