Jesus the Revealer

What manner of man is this? This profound question asked by the disciples in the midst of a storm becomes our invitation to truly see Jesus—not as we imagine Him, but as He truly is. Through the lens of Luke 15 and Jesus' parables, we discover a God who shatters our human expectations. The Pharisees taught a God of distance and judgment, but Jesus revealed a Father who searches for the one lost sheep, who throws the wayward over His shoulders without making them walk home in shame. This isn't just poetic imagery—it's a complete redefinition of God's character. When we grasp that God never stops sowing seed, that He purchased even a potter's field of broken pieces to redeem strangers, we begin to understand the relentless nature of divine love. The miracles display His care, but the parables unveil His heart. To see Jesus clearly is to fall irrevocably in love with Him, and in that love, we find the power to turn the other cheek, to love our enemies, and to rejoice in tribulation—because He is kind to the unthankful and the evil. Our transformation begins when we stop projecting our human limitations onto God and start seeing Him through the revelation of Christ.
