I can’t explain exactly how love works, but I’ve been deeply in love with Jessica for twenty years now.
I can’t fully explain how a daughter is able to utterly melt a father’s heart; however, all Maddie and Amber have to do to get their way with me is play the daughter/daddy card.
I would fail miserably if someone asked me give a technical explanation for the law of gravity, and yet I could demonstrate it perfectly, simply by standing still.
Some of the most complex things in life are beyond adequate description—they can’t be fully articulated in the human language—they have to be known.
I can’t explain God to you.
I can talk about Him. I can tell you my experiences. I can point to creation and some things that could only have come from His limitless imagination. I can quote Scriptures and preach sermons, but at the end of the day, God must be known.
He isn’t an idea or a hypothesis or the Jedi’s impersonal “Force.” He is a person—He is THE person—and Jesus showed us what He looks like.
The Apostle Paul said, “In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” (Colossians 2:9)
The Apostle John said, “The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made His dwelling among us. And we have seen His glory.” (John 1:14)
The Apostle Peter said, “We were eyewitnesses of His majesty.” (2 Peter 1:16)
And what about you? What would you say? I know you can’t explain Him, but who do you know Him to be?
He is waiting to be known, and those who seek Him find Him.
