Seeing God

Published: Dec. 25, 2021, 10 a.m.

The smaller something is, the closer you have to get in order to see it. That’s why the best way to view the gifts God gives at Christmas is “up close and personal.” God acts in ways that seem small so we can get a good look at the big things he’s doing. Today we see how God reveals his glory to us by covering it up and making it seem small. No one can see God’s glory face to face and live. Had he not found a way to reveal himself to us, we couldn’t possibly know who he is or where he is. However, at Christmas, he revealed himself in Christ: the Word made flesh. Through his Word he still makes his dwelling among us and fills us with his grace and truth.
