Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Bible tells us that God reveals Himself to humans in four primary ways. All that God has created in nature discloses who He is.

Jul 17, 2024 · 1. Through the Teachings of Jesus. Part of Jesus’ ministry on Earth was to represent God to the world. As He explained it to His disciple, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). And as we read through the Gospels, it becomes clear that God reveals Himself through what His Son did and taught.

The word “see” can be understood in many ways. We can look with our eyes by observing. Perceive with the senses and our inner vision of “knowing” or by understanding from discovery or experience. But we can also see through visions and dreams and through the use of metaphor. As an artist, it has been my experience that whenever I have taught drawin...
It’s an interesting question. When I shared this question with a friend, he immediately responded with, “How can you notsee Jesus?” After pausing for thought, he then went on to say that it can be a bit like “Where’s Waldo?” If you don’t know what Waldo looks like, then he can be hard to find.
When I first met Jesus, it was through an invitation to give my life to God during a sermon preached by my father. I was very young when I heard this sermon. My dad spoke about how Jesus had died to remove our sins and bring us to God, and the invitation was made to give our lives to Him. My spirit rose to the invitation and I remember submitting m...
John the Baptist recognized who Jesus was when He asked John to baptize Him, and this was confirmed when the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, descended from heaven and rested upon Jesus.

Referring to God rather than Jesus and speaking to the Jewish nation, in particular, this verse says that if they search for God with their whole hearts, they will find Him. I believe this truth stands for us t...
In the delicate intricate weaving of the small and beautiful touches that are of your hand, I see beauty; I see your love. You weave your touch through my day.Your intricate beauties are not lost by me (Petrina Kent, 7/9/13).

This painting is an invitation to journey. I was asked to produce a book cover on the theme “The Road to Emmaus.” I deliberately painted a path of confusion and despair but with light and hope ahead for us to aim for. And just as the blood of Jesusis woven throughout this painting by the use of the color red, He comes as we journey, and He walks wi...
I come to you Jesus, The one who loves my soul, I look to you and pause to wonder.What path have you trod? What made it even possible that you should consider me, the guilty one, full of pain and shame, full of sin, Lost in a wilderness of despair?It had to be love.You loved me enough to leave your majestic throne, Walk the dusty path Mocked Undone...
I leave you with this challenge Jesus Himself set: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened”(Matthew 7:7,8).
