No one
has ever seen God: the only Son, who
is in the bosom of the Father,
He has made Him known
John
1:18
By His incarnation, His life, His
death, His resurrection and in His
risen life the Son of Man has glorified
the Father and become the pathway
to wholeness, maturity and the Father's
Presence in this world and the next.
So was it determined before time
was and in the days before the Incarnate
Fulfilment; the Son imaged the Father
in the hearts and minds of the true
of heart, pointing forward to the
fuller revelation. And all who sought
and followed the light that was
in them were (and are) caught up
in the fruits of the redemption
and sanctification which was lived
out in time to enable the children
of light in all ages to see and
glorify and rejoice in the Presence
of the Father.
And now each and every child of
the Father is called to enter and
progress in the family of His Divine
Fatherhood by following in faithfulness,
humility ad love the highest that
they know in the centre of their
being. The beginning is to be found
in a jettisoning of all self-seeking,
self-indulgence and self-promotion.
In a quiet seeking in the heart's
centre and in faithful commitment
to all that will be revealed will
progress be made. Occasional mistakes
and failures will be overcome by
steady orientation in the way. For
the light which lightens every life
will illuminate the way and enable
the going. And the face of the Father
will increasingly be seen as His
arms increasingly enfold in love
and joy.
