Luke 8:20 “And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
The desire to see Christ is strong among His followers. We long to see His face. And yet His earthly family were familiar with it. It was difficult for them to accept His significance. They knew Him, and yet they didn’t know Him. And for us now it is the other way around. We know Him, but have not yet seen Him. However, the great comfort we have is that when we shall see Him, we will see Him as He truly is, in all of His glory.
Heavenly Father, I long to understand. I long to know and see and experience You and the Son directly. But, as it is, I am so glad that in my spirit I know and experience You. Without that we are all truly lonely in this world. Thank You for Your presence in our lives! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
