I SEE HIM

By Rick Mathes

John 12:21 (NASB77) ²¹  these therefore came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

I have glaucoma which is a disease of the eyes which is certain to cause blindness in time. There is no cure but with prescriptions eye-drops will be able to postpone until I have returned to Jesus and I receive new eyes in glory. It has caused me to be grateful that I have vision and will certainly in His day see Him as He is!

It also caused me to think of other ways I can see Him if I do go blind before my last heartbeat. I received Him as my Savior and made Him Lord of my life. I can clearly see Him with my eyes of faith both in His word and in His church. He is visible in you and all believers because you reflect His image and likeness.

His love is so special that when it is generated from Him I immediately recognize Him in nature as well as in His image and likeness in His children of promise. There is just something special about a believer. And quite frankly, I would rather see Christ in you than hear about Him from you.

God is love and when I see His love in action, I see Him. Nothing draws you closer to the real deal but a holy consecration of all you are for all He is. The vision of His heavenly being comes into focus the closer you are to His holiness. There is a reality to what you see.

What we see of Him in the natural is just an illustration, like a mask but with the eyes of the Holy Spirit what we see of Him in the supernatural is that golden moment when the veil of His glory is pulled back, just for an instant so that we might glimpse Him as He is. It explains our hope of heaven we confirm in our being that the best is yet to come.

My enthusiasm for His Word has given me many spiritual visions of Him and His as I travel through His adventures in the Word of God and in this passing earth experience that has amazed the angels.
