"....prophets, then, foretold that God would be seen by men....."

"The prophets, then, foretold that God would be seen by men...
By their own powers man cannot see God,
yet God will be seen by men because he wills it.
He will be seen by those he chooses, for God can do all things.
.....he is seen through the Son by our adoption as his children.....

As those who see light are in the light
sharing its' brilliance,
so those who see God are in God
sharing his glory,
and that glory gives them life.
To see God is to share in life."
