00:00The Chibi News Daily Reflection
00:04My name is Marcus Mack. Welcome to St Michael's Church in New Haven. In all of my life I've never
00:13ever heard anyone complain about someone who was a good listener, who took the time to truly know
00:19and understand someone. One reason why good listeners are greatly appreciated is because
00:25we love to be known and understood. Deep and intimate relationships are built on mutual
00:32self-revelation, a sharing of personal information with others that creates bonds and connections.
00:39The only way we can know and be known is through a self-unveiling. Similarly, the only way we can
00:46know God is if he chooses to reveal himself. God is invisible and infinite, and as finite creatures,
00:54God is outside of our ability to comprehend. So what does God do? He graciously provides us
01:00with a tangible way to know the truth about him. In the beginning of John's Gospel, we are told that
01:08the Word who was with God and was God became flesh and made his dwelling among us. No one has ever seen
01:15God, but the one and only Son who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father
01:22has made him known. Jesus, who is the Word, became a human being and revealed the invisible God.
01:30God is now knowable through his self-unveiling in Jesus Christ.
