Knowing God

Jesus’ experiences of God made him the person he was. It freed him from all self-concern and enabled him to relate to people with warmth, ease, sympathy and liberating love. This is why Scripture attaches such importance to knowing God. Healing our image of God heals our image of ourselves . . . And John declares, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). God’s love becomes flesh and blood in the person of Jesus. In him it receives hands and feet, a face and a voice. The purpose of the incarnation was to convince us of the faithful love of God.
