How can we see God?
Just like this question says. Dear reader, we would like to invite you to find an answer to this question through the Holy Scriptures. In certain occasion according to the book of Exodus chapter 33 verses 13 to 23 Moises asked God if he had found grace in his eyes to show him his glory “And he (GOD) said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy to whom I will show mercy. And he said, Thou canst no see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.”
Here we can find that the only form in which Moises was able to see the Lords glory was by being in the cleft of the rock. The Bible says according to chapter 10:4 of 1 Corinthians that the rock is Christ Jesus and in Peter 2:4 tells us that Christ is that live stone and the Gospel according to John 1:14 tells us that those of us who have received him and believed in his name have seen his glory. And in the Song of Solomon tells us that we the church, the dove of the Lord are hidden in the clefts of the rock (Solomon 2:14).
Then we can come to the conclusion that the same as Moises being in the rock was able to see God we also by Jesus Christ the rock can contemplate God in the face of Jesus Christ.
In Chapter 1 of John we find some qualifications of that kind Father; some being; the creator, the Word, that life was in him and that that life was the light of men and that light which lightened all man came to this world. And who was it that came to this world and died for our sins? It was Jesus Christ!!! Amen Then he is the light and Psalm 36:9 says “For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. So then through Jesus Christ, the light, we can see that Father which lives in inaccessible light.
That’s why in John 14:18 when Philip asks the Lord Jesus show us the Father, and it sufficeth us, and the Lord answers “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, Show us the Father?”
And in Isaiah 43:10 says “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior.” In this verse we can see apparently as if he was speaking of 2 people: the Lord and his servant. But at the same time he clarifies that they are only one and its precisely because God does not want us to believe that he is divided in 2 or 3 person like some today in actuality believe erroneously.
The Apostle Paul in Colossians 2:1-10 he expresses to the Colossians that great conflict he has for them and for them at Laodicea, and also clarifying not only for them but for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, and to that list we can include all of us today because I believe that literally none of us these days have seen his face in the flesh and his great conflict was “that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and the Father, and of Christ; and adds in whom (singular form not in them as if speaking of 2), are hid all he treasures of wisdom, and knowledge. Or saying he’s the spinal cord to all the rest of the teachings them being simple ones as well as the more profound ones. And all people need to understand this mystery and from there depart into a spiritual growing in their lives and rejoice every day in those treasures like his word says: “That it’s the blessing that maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22) That’s why the Apostle tells us that it’s a great affliction. Why is it sometimes man doesn’t understand this Mystery of God? Because sometimes we ourselves, we love avarice, the glory of others, comfort is more important to some of us than the truth, and we hide under the covers of a fake love that more than love its libertinism and even love without truth is hypocrisy, and if we had to chose between love and truth we would have to chose the truth.
Paul tells the Ephesians to grow in the truth, in love (Ephesians 4:15) And Proverbs tells us “Open rebuke is better than secret love.”(Proverbs 27:5) The great worries of Paul, for the Colossians and for all of us is for us to understand that the Father and Christ are one and like Isaiah 43:10-11 says that only he is God and other than him there is no savior, that he is the only savior of the world and in the Letter to Titus 2:13 manifested to us once more that Jesus Christ is the Lord, the Only God and Savior . “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the Great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,” Titus 2:13 and 14). And Hebrews 2:14 tells us that “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself (Father) likewise took part of the same;” to redeem us.
And in 1 Timothy 3:16 says: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,”
And once more the prophet Isaiah was already announcing it to us when the lord saith “Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold it is I. (Isaiah 52:6)
It’s my prayer to God that you dear reader like our dear brother Paul would say “That God giveth ye spirit of wisdom and revelation in his knowledge.”
God Bless You All!!!!!
