Written by Kyle Norman, a contemporary pastor and author. This is an excerpt from his work "In Seeking Jesus, We See God."
We all need comfort and encouragement. We all need to be reminded Jesus is not just a character in a story or a teacher of long ago; He is the Lord of life and salvation. He is the way to God, the truth of God, and the life of God. For anyone who asks questions like, "How do I know God? How do I get close to God? How do I get to heaven?" Jesus points to himself as the answer. To anyone longing for an experience of God, the answer is fully revealed: get close to Jesus. He is the way all our deep spiritual longings are fully and finally fulfilled.
Prayer:
Written by Origen (c184-253), an early Christian scholar, ascetic, and theologian.
May the Lord Jesus place his hands on our eyes that we may begin to catch sight of the things that are not seen more than the things that are seen. May he open our eyes that they will alight on the things to come more than on the things of this age. May he unveil the vision of our heart that it may contemplate God in spirit. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ to whom belong glory and power forever. Amen.
