Only those who see God's face can live.

In Exodus 33:20, Moses tells us that no one can see God's face and live.

But in the Gospel of John we learn that "no one has ever seen God at any time." [Jn 1:18]

No one, that is, except Jesus.

Jesus is the "exact representation of God's nature" [Heb. 1:3]

In Jesus "the fullness of the Godhead dwells in bodily form" [Col. 2:9]

Jesus says that "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father." [Jn. 14:9]

And the Apostle Paul tells us that "in the face of Christ" God has "shone in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God." [2 Cor. 4:7]

So, where Moses and the Old Testament proclaims that no one can see God and live, Jesus and the New Testament scriptures reveal to us that is only those who have seen the face of God [in Christ] who really have life.

Have you seen the face of God and lived?

If you have seen Christ, then you have seen the face of God.

"This is eternal life, that they may know...the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." - Jesus [Jn. 17:3]

Now, keep your eyes on Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face.

He has promised to stay with you, and to never leave you.

You will never know another moment of time, or take another breath, without Him.

His love endures forever.

Look into the face of God...and live.
