GOD IS UNSEEN=GOD IS UNHEARD=OUR GOD IS A MYSTERY

GOD IS UNSEEN-
GOD IS UNHEARD-
OUR GOD IS A MYSTERY




I have never seen God
I have never even heard God
And I am SURE-
Neither have you


For our God is a MYSTERY


“Jesus said:........'The Father
Who sent me
Has TESTIFIED on my behalf


But you have
Never heard his voice
Nor seen his form........” John 5:37


The Gospel of John
Is so different
Than the other 3 gospels


It has
Its own UNIQUE perspective


Today-it tells us
That Jesus was sent
By his Father


And that the “you”
REFERS to us
His 21^st century apostles
As well as the people
Of his time


We don't have Jesus
Any more figured out
Than the people of his day did


He is still
A MYSTERY TO US


“No-we declare GOD'S WISDOM
A MYSTERY that has been hidden


And that God destined
For our glory-
Before time began” 1 Corinthians 2:7


“But in the days
WHEN the 7^th angel
Is about to sound
His trumpet-


The MYSTERY OF GOD
Will be accomplished


Just as he announced
To his servants the prophets” Revelations 10:7


Our God is unseen
Our God is unheard
Except for his TEACHINGS


His teachings on LOVE
His teachings on forgiveness-
And his teachings on kindness
As well as the healings and miracles
He performed


Our God
Is a good God


A God of PERFECT LOVE
As manifested in the life-death-
And RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ


He is a humble God
A God of perfect humility


MAYBE we should try
To CULTIVATE his humility
Into our own lives


“When pride comes-
Then comes disgrace


But with humility
Comes wisdom” Proverbs 11:2


“Wisdom's instruction-
Is to fear the Lord


And HUMILITY
Comes before honor” Proverbs 15:33


“I served the Lord
With great humility and tears
….....” (Saint Paul) Acts 20:19


Isn't that something
We should ALL ASPIRE to do?


So
Our God is unseen-
Our God is unheard-
And our God is a mystery


Dear Lord-PLEASE HELP US
To ALWAYS KNOW
That we haven't got it
All figured out


And to live our lives
In LOVE-FORGIVENESS-and KINDNESS


Without always
Needing to understand


For you dear Lord
Are a perfect mystery-
AND PERFECT LOVE
