How do you make an invisible God visible? It's the mission statement of our church — and one of the most important questions in the Christian life.In this episode of Clearview Today, we dig into the invisibility of God: what Scripture means when it says God is spirit, why His inmost essence can never be seen by us, and why that doesn't make Him any less real. We work through Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, the way children grasp an unseen God through the eyes of faith, and the simple illustration of the wind — you can't see it, but you can see everything it does.From there we talk about how God makes Himself visible through His people. It isn't enough to only preach the truth, and it isn't enough to only love and serve — Christ becomes visible when the truth of God and the people of God come together. We close with St. Patrick's breastplate prayer and a simple challenge: when people look at you, do they see Jesus?
