Born
of Him
If you know that he is righteous, you
may be sure that everyone who does right has been born of him.
See what love the Father has given us, that we should be
called the children f God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does
not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now;
what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is
revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have
this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is
pure.
While the Bible tells us what Jesus
said and did, it does not tell us how He looked. Our mental picture of Him has
been influenced by art, Sunday school materials, and pictures in some Bibles. But
one day, our image of Christ will be forever changed when we meet Him face to
face.
Not only will we see Him, we will be
like Him. What an astounding reality that will be.
All that we
long to become
will find
fulfillment
in our first
look at Jesus.
