Worship Update 10/16

From Jay

Can’t Wait

I don’t often get moved to tears in my quiet time with God, but I was this morning. I am in Colossians right now, reading about how Jesus is the fullness of God; that when you see Jesus, you see an exact representation of His Father God.

This study guide book I am in asked this question: “What are some of the difficulties we have in trying to know and relate to an invisible God?”

Suddenly I was hit with a longing to see Jesus face to face like I never have. If He is my best friend, if He is my Redeemer, my Savior, if I am supposed to be drawing closer to Him, it just kind of seems like I should be able to talk with Him face to face, to ask Him questions, to listen to Him, like other people in my life I love and that love me. I can tell you all the answers I have said all my life about how He speaks to me through His Word and how we can pray to Him boldly, etc. And even though I believe in those things with all my heart, I just really, really, really would like to see Him, face to face.

Colossians 1:15-16…

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.He existed before anything was created
and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—

And so I wait, along with you, for a time when I finally will see Him standing in front of me.

Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. - 1 Corinthians 13:12
