There are many things we can’t see with our eyes, yet we know they are real. Like, we can’t see gravity, or electricity, or your thoughts. But your phone is powered by electricity, and this site contains my and others thoughts and if you drop your phone you’ll gravity all too real.
The example Jesus uses is wind, you can feel it and see its effects. We see trees swaying and clouds moving across the sky or waves on an ocean. God is like that, and above all he wants you to know he is real and that he loves you.
No one has ever seen God. But his only Son, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart, he has told us about him.
John 1.18
We can’t see God, because God is a spirit. He doesn’t have a physical body like we do. God knew that it would be hard for us to understand exactly what he is like. So he came up with a wonderful way for us to know him. God, the Father, sent his Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby in Bethlehem. Jesus grew up and lived as a man, a very special, kind, perfect man. We can be sure that when we learn what Jesus is like, we will know what God is like. Jesus is just like God, his Father in heaven. In fact, Jesus is God! Jesus shows us exactly what God is like.
