But we see Jesus

Weekday

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Hebrews 2:5-12 Psalm 8:2, 5-9 Mark 1:21-28

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

I think that we often take for granted the wonders of this creation and of our God. Perhaps it is because we can't see Him directly. Yes, we can see His character and His will in nature and in our own lives, yet we still do not have that tangible piece that we can point to and say there, He is the one that is behind all that I am and all that I aspire to be. He is the one by whom and for whom all creation exists. But, we see Jesus. Jesus is the revelation of God and he is a real man and we can now point to something that is not open for debate or speculation, but is physical and documented in history. He became one of us and in that he has justified our faith. All that we know about God now has a person that we can see and know.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to see all that you are in Jesus and to share that vision and knowledge with those who are suffering and need to see Him.

Amen
