Looking for God ...

"The Father and I are one."
(John 9:30)

God is mysterious. That is he rarely allows God's own self to be seen. Just picture, a national hero of Israel named Moses in around 1300 BC wants to see God whom he has followed well. And what happens, God shields his eyes while he walking toward him and after he turns around he allows Moses to see his back, but not his face (Exodus 33:17-23).

In the gospel of John the relationship between Jesus, God the Son, and God the Father is underlined to the point that Jesus says, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).

God is a God who is present and accounted for. The story of Christmas is a part of that certainty.

I invite you to join me in looking for the presence of God in your daily experience.
You are invited to be our guest in the
