How can we understand and know a God we’ve never seen? How can we as finite beings understand an infinite and eternal God? Can God have a real impact in our lives right now? If so, how?
These questions have driven our series over the past few weeks entitled, “Pictures of God.” I’ve absolutely loved going through Scripture, reading how God often describes Himself. He takes His indescribable, unfathomable qualities and somehow manages to put them into terms we can understand so that we can get a glimpse, a touch, a hint of understanding of His power, His mercy, His grace, and His love.

So far, we’ve discussed God as light of the world, living water, bread of life, the Word (our language), the Good Shepherd, and the Great High Priest.
Next week, will be our last in the series, taking a closer look at the love relationship between God and man, and how Christ is described as our bridegroom.
