How does God reveal Himself in the Old Testament to us? And where does His Son Jesus peer through?

John 1:18 tells us, “No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, He has made Him known.”

So Jesus, who is the Word, makes visible that which is not visible. We cannot see God in His essence. We would be consumed by that.

But what is the Son's unique role? The Son's role is to mediate for us, the Father by the Spirit, so that we can see the unseeable. So that we can know and relate to that which appears to be unknowable. >>Watch on YouTube
