Come and See!

Come and see! How do we see God today? We see God in Holy Communion; we see God in one another and in how people act reveals God. A microscope allows us to see small living organisms, and a telescope allows us to see large bodies in space, which are very far away. We need to learn to see God with the eyes of our heart. .... The message "come and see" maybe familiar to you if you have ever visited our website. Come and see God is a rather larger thing to say. We humans, by nature, are idolaters, that is we make up our own gods. Atheism has become quite popular recently, there are atheists clubs and families that openly declare themselves as atheists. Unlike the agnostics who openly admit they don't know if there is a God or not, atheists say that there is no God at all. So far in what I have heard no one has been theologically minded enough to ask them, "which god don't you believe in?" It really means something when you say God does not exists. ... Perhaps the god they are rejecting is an angry god who causes destruction. We don't believe in that god either. The early Christians were accused of being atheists because they rejected all the gods. Being Christian means loving everyone including our enemies. ... The new generation, Generation Y, have been saying that Christians are a bunch of phonies, because they hate gays and are judgemental. Our claim to fame is not that we are great ; we are not so great, but rather, that Jesus is here. Do you feel and sense that is true? Do you sense the presence of Jesus Christ. ... To find out how real He is, come and see. All those other gods are nothing more than projections of ourselves. What instrument do we use to see God? What part of ourselves is more like God? We see God with our inner beings, our souls where the Holy Spirit connects with us. We can look and not see; we can hear and not listen, and then just not get it. We have to come with our spirit tuned to see God.
