“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:3)
Sometimes when hiking we look for a trail that leads to a waterfall. I’ve loved each of the few we’ve ever seen. A trickling peaceful waterfall, tumbling down slippery rocks or one that thunders and is powerful and majestic. A waterfall that splashes in a swift current below over time-worn boulders, to meet up downstream with yet another river. Awesome.
I’d never seen the source of any of the waterfalls, until this one particular day. The trail zig-zagged up a wooded hillside to a rocky, open area. A sign here and there prodded us onward and upward, to catch a glimpse of the Top-of-the-Waterfall.
We were rewarded with the most glorious sight, the place where the waterfall begins. From the waterfalls we’d seen before, we knew of course that they started somewhere else, and there was a source, even though we couldn’t see it.
Though we cannot actually see God, our source, if we know Jesus then we have seen Him. (“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?'” John 14:9)
This is beautiful, and good news today and everyday.
