Obviously we see Him. But not only that.
We see ourselves better!
I think God works like a mirror.
We need to stand in front of Him to better see the things we cannot see by ourselves.
After all, from the start, He revealed that we are His image.
“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness” Gen 1:26
Therefore, see God, and you’ll see yourself.
Better. Clearer!
And the good news is that this God who works like a mirror-
A spirit and invisible, became flesh and visible for us.
Yes, during that first Christmas- God became man.
Indeed, He became Emmanuel: God-with-us and dwelt among us.
So Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and John the Baptist saw Him.
The wise men and humble shepherds saw Him.
Peter, James, John and the rest saw Him.
Pharisees, teachers of the law and elders saw Him.
The rich and the poor saw Him.
The sinners, outcasts, sick and even blind people saw Him.
But they never knew, they never knew.
That even before they look at Him, Jesus already saw them.
With the eyes of compassion and mercy.
With the heart of love and generosity.
These are the things that we can see through the eyes of Jesus.
These are the things that we can feel from the heart of Jesus.
Today, look straight at the eyes of Jesus,
And you’ll see how much He loves you.
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, through your eyes, I know I'll find myself.
Help me to see you today. Help me to look at you today. Amen.
