Embracing the Fullness of God

If we want to know what God is like, look at Jesus (John 14:9). He shows us God’s heart, which is full of love, kindness, power, and humility. As Colossians 1:17 says, Jesus existed before anything and holds everything together — even our broken lives and confusion.

Sometimes, we think wrongly about God because of pain or bad experiences with religion. We may see him as angry or far away. But Jesus corrects this. He touched the sick, welcomed outsiders, forgave sins, and cried with people who were hurting. He shows us exactly what God is like (Hebrews 1:3).

So we don’t have to guess who God is. He came close through Jesus. We can trust him, not fear him. God wants to be known and stay close to us.

When we look at Jesus’ life and actions, how does it change the way we see God?
