John 14:9 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
There are many opinions on what God is like. People often think of God as some far away being that is unapproachable. Others may think of God as mean and that He inflicts people with things to teach them a lesson. Others simply don't have an opinion and plan on waiting until they get to heaven to see what God is really like. Well if we read the stories of Jesus in the Bible we find out exactly what God is like. Essentially Jesus said if you want to know what God is like, come follow me around for a while and I'll show you. Jesus built relationships with people. He fed them, He ministered to them. He served them and gave His life for the sins of the world. And although he hated religion and self-righteousness, He cared for them and forgave them saying "Father, they know not what they do". He healed their sickness and diseases; He opened the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf. He cast out demons and evil spirits from those who were tormented. If we look at Jesus and see the reflection of the Father, we see that He always left people better off than when He found them. That's what God is like.
Have A Blessed day
