Do you want to see God?
That is a scary thought isn't
it. To be in the presence of the Creator
of the Universe, the omnipotent God of all, to be in the presence of so much
power and glory would be overwhelming.
Isaiah wrote: "Woe is me! I am ruined.
… my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
The people of Israel didn't
want to hear God's voice anymore and couldn’t bear to see his glory. They were afraid. They even overed
Moses' face so that they wouldn't be blinded by the reflected glory of
God.
And yet, wouldn't we like to see
God?
On the
Mount of Transfiguration, Peter, James, and John saw the glory of God and they
were astonished and overjoyed in the experience. Peter remarked, "It is good for us to be
here."
It is good
to see God. It is good to be in the
presence of God. It is good to learn
that God is gracious and merciful. At St. Mark we want you to see the goodness of
our God. Jesus reveals the glory of
God. We don’t need to be scared to meet
God. We can find great joy in his
presence. Learn about Jesus and you will
learn about God. We preach about Christ
crucified for our sins. Come and see how
Jesus (God) died for you, to save you.
