People who are blind often grasp concepts in ways that are different from those of people with sight. A blind person may perceive a shadow, not as a dark area without sunlight, but as a cool area shaded from the sun's warmth. Just as person who is totally blind cannot see shadow or sunlight, we can not understand Jehovah on our own. Therefore, Jehovah provided a human who perfectly mirrored His qualities and personality.
That person was Jesus. (Philippians 2:7) Jesus not only talked about his Father but also showed us what God is like. Jesus' disciple Philip asked: "Lord, show us the Father." In reply, Jesus said" Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also." (John 14:8, 9) What can you "see" about the Father through Jesus's actions?
Jesus was warm, humble, and approachable. (Matthew 11:28-30) His refreshing personality drew people to him. Jesus felt the pain others felt, and he shared their joys. (Luke 10:17, 21; John 11:32-35) As you read or hear the Bible accounts about Jesus, engage your senses and make the events come alive in your mind. If you meditate on the way Jesus dealt with people, you will able to see God's wonderful personality more clearly and be drawn to Him.
