Opening Blind Eyes

“Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.

How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?”

John 14:8-10a

What is there is nature that you truly enjoy?

Is it the roar of a majestic waterfall?

How about the stillness of a forest trail?

Perhaps you are in awe of the oceans as the waves roll in and out.

Whatever it may be, know this - all of nature reflects its’ Creator.

We, too, as the most special part of His creation, are to reflect His image.

He is unseen, we are not.

We are to reveal God to the world.

Our actions, our words, our attitudes and behaviors can all be used to reveal and unseen God to a world that would be otherwise oblivious.

We can sometimes forget that we are called to this.

We can flippantly think that was Jesus’ role.

He certainly did do that and He did it to perfection.

But He is now seated at the right hand of the Father and He has commissioned us to reveal the Father.

So today, look for ways to reveal.

Reveal His love, His mercy, His compassion and His forgiveness through the Son.

In so doing, you will be co-laboring with the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of a blind person today.
