Many people have an interest in God even...

No-one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
John 1:18.

Many people have an interest in God even in our day and age. But who is God? And what is God like?

These are extremely important questions that affect our whole life. The answer to them reveals the sense of life.

The first and easiest way to discover something about God is in nature that surrounds us: God's own creation. If it was created, then it must bear the Creator's handwriting. And this is so: God's creation testifies not only to His greatness and power, but through its beauty, variety and plenitude points to Him distinctly.

When we behold creation, however, certain questions arise: why do plants, animals and human beings age and pass away? Is God a God of death? That cannot be! A foreign element has penetrated creation, bringing corruption and death and obscuring our view of God.

But God has not withdrawn from us. His wish was not only to show us something of His power; He wanted to declare (or: reveal) Himself, as today's text states. That was possible in one extraordinary way alone: the Son of God came down to earth. Since then people have been able to contemplate Him by reading the Bible. In Him, Jesus Christ, we become aware of who God is and what He is like.

Sin and the devil caused corruption and death in the world, separating mankind from God. But Jesus Christ gives life to all who believe in Him and leads them back to God the Father.

Today's reading: Leviticus 26:14-33 Â· Psalms 71:17-24

A LESSON FROM GOLIATH
