  • FACE TO FACE WITH GOD

    In Exodus 33:11 it says that the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then, later, in John 15:15 when Jesus comes to reveal the Father and invite his disciples into the Love they have he says that he no longer calls them servants, but friends, because everything that he heard from the Father he had made known to them.

    Surely God is still seeking friendship. Surely He will still go to any length to know us and be known by us. Even to the point of sacrificing His own son. His invitation is out "I want to know you!" The question we need to ask ourselves is: "Do I want to know God for who He really is?

    To what lengths are we willing to go to know Him as He desires to be known? To know him as a man knows His Friend, face to face.
