He was led by the Holy Spirit the whole time in this account, both to go into the temple and in recognizing that the baby he saw was indeed Jesus.Īnd so, it is with us today, the Holy Spirit witnesses and reveals Jesus to us. In Luke 25, we see the devout and righteous man Simeon who was told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he saw the promised Messiah. My spirit rose to the invitation and I remember submitting my life into God’s hands. My dad spoke about how Jesus had died to remove our sins and bring us to God, and the invitation was made to give our lives to Him. I was very young when I heard this sermon. When I first met Jesus, it was through an invitation to give my life to God during a sermon preached by my father.
When I shared this question with a friend, he immediately responded with, “How can you not see Jesus?” After pausing for thought, he then went on to say that it can be a bit like “Where’s Waldo?” If you don’t know what Waldo looks like, then he can be hard to find.
#DISCLOSE BIBLE DISCOVERY HOW TO#
We first have to learn how to see! How Do We See Jesus Now?
Once students understand this, it is like watching a light of revelation go on, suddenly everything becomes clear and the discovery excites them. But we can also see through visions and dreams and through the use of metaphor.Īs an artist, it has been my experience that whenever I have taught drawing, I have to first teach people how to see. Perceive with the senses and our inner vision of “ knowing” or by understanding from discovery or experience. The word “see” can be understood in many ways. But how do we see and how does that relate to a revelation of Jesus? Seeing Jesus To reveal means to uncover something unknown and to see with clarity something that was previously a mystery. His disciples first knew Him as a man on earth, but we know Him as the revealed Son of God, once again seated in the heavenly places. Jesus came and walked the earth for a mere 33 years and then returned to His heavenly position.
