—1 John 4:8-12
by: Margaret Taylor.
My father died at age 39, leaving a one-year-old son. Those who knew Dad see him clearly in his son today. My stepfather and his eldest son are both gone but can be seen in my nephew and his new baby daughter. Those who did not know them can learn something about them by observing their offspring.
No one has ever seen God. To our physical eyes he is an absentee parent. Except that Christ came as Emanuel, God with us, we would not recognize his Father, who is Love. The powerful nature of love gave more than revelation in Jesus. He gave reconciliation through his begotten love. Now we, too, can have the life of love in us, visible to all men.
