Jan 4, 2022 · 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. Our consciences (the human mind and heart) bear witness to the existence of God. He reveals Himself to us through His Word and the person of Jesus Christ.

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. But it was not always the case that Jesus was so easily recognized. The disciples didn’t always recognize him. In the account of Jesus walking on the water, the...
In Luke 25, we see the devout and righteous man Simeon who was told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he saw the promised Messiah. He was led by the Holy Spirit the whole time in this account, both to go into the temple and in recognizing that the baby he saw was indeed Jesus. And so, it is with us today, the Holy Spirit witnesses and...
…If from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul (Deuteronomy 4:29). 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 is an excerpt from a poem I wrote about Jesus and it touches upon how we can see Him metaphorically. A friend responded...
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).

Jul 17, 2024 · God wants us to “grow in the grace and knowledge” of Him (2 Peter 3:18). He invites us to seek His wisdom and even provides us with the perfect resource to find it. For within the pages of His Word, God delights in revealing Himself to us. The Bible contains a wonderful variety of subject matter, language and writing styles.
Jan 14, 2024 · If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer: God most clearly reveals Himself through Jesus Christ, the Bible, Creation, the Holy Spirit in us, and through other Believers.
- Through His Word in general. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is “God-breathed.” His Word sometimes gives us a warning, a word of encouragement, or a lesson for life.
- Through His Son, Jesus Christ. The New Testament was the fulfillment of God’s special plan. It’s the gospel: the good news of Jesus Christ. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe” Hebrews 1:1-2, NIV).
- Through Nature and God’s Creation. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse ” Romans 1:20, NIV).
- Through Other Believers. God may use a friend, a teacher, a parent, or a preacher to convey His message of truth to us. Their words may come as a warning, a blessing, or as a prophetic truth about our lives.Whether we choose to hear it or ignore it, depends on us.
The beauty of the nature God has created and the order by which He created the universe is a way by which He reveals Himself to us: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork" (Psalm 19:1).
