Jesus the Light is God shining forth – the radiance of the glory of God. He is Light from Light. True God from True God. The Son is fully God, of one substance with the Father. The Son is all that the Father is except Father. He is eternally begotten of the Father, not made.

 

Jesus is the invisible God made visible. Jesus could say to his disciples: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father…. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:9, 17) As John says, “No-one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.” (John 1:18)

 

Jesus is the incomprehensible God made known. Of course we can never know God fully, but its wonderful that infinitely great as he is, we can know him truly in Jesus. Let’s praise God that he has revealed himself to us personally. May we delight in knowing God in Jesus Christ and seek to know him better and better until that day when we see him face to face and know him more fully, even as we are fully known.
