Face to Face

God did not want us to think of him as some awesome force keeping his distance from the everyday life of people. God wanted to put a face, a touch, a voice on earth that we could relate to. So he sent his son to be God with us. By doing this, God helped us to understand how much he truly cares about us. We no longer think of God as some distant creator. Rather we think of him as an imminent savior. As much as we appreciate the sacrifice and the ministry of Jesus, let us not forget that it is God who sent his son to us. It was God who was willing for his son to suffer and die so that we might be saved.
