Want to see God? Look to Jesus.

Pictures. Photographs. Portraits. Digital images. Think about your favorite picture of yourself. Why do you like it? What does it say about you? What are you doing in it? Does it say anything about your family or what you believe is most important? Explain.
Read Hebrews 1:1-3, and stop to think about verse 3.
According to these verses, how did God reveal Himself in “these last days”?
How much of an expression of God is Jesus?
What does this passage have to do with knowing there is a God?
Do these verses indicate that Jesus is a good picture of God?
What does Jesus’ earthly life tell us about God?
Some people find faith difficult because it involves believing in Someone we can’t see. But as today’s passage points out, while we don’t have a photo of God, He has revealed Himself to us through Jesus Christ. If you want to know what God is really like, read about Jesus’ life here on earth. Discover His character. See how He treated people. Understand why He came to earth and what He came to do. Seek Jesus. The clearest picture you have of God is Jesus, a Man who loved and served others and gave Himself up—even unto death—for our well-being. He is God! Today’s key verse says He is the exact expression of God’s nature.
So, what is God like? Jesus.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. —Hebrews 1:3
