The God with whom nothing is impossible is among us in the person of Jesus. When Jesus told us to pray for God’s kingdom to come, He also modeled for us what it means for the kingdom of God to be with us. He shows us what the Father is like and how grace and mercy work in the world.

In truth, if we want to know about the kingdom we need to take a long look at Jesus. What is God like? Look at Jesus? What does grace look like? Take a look at Jesus. What does compassion for a broken world look like? Take a look at Jesus. What does honest and authentic humility look like? Take a look at Jesus. What does truth look like? Take a look at Jesus.

At the heart of the Christian faith is the fact that the eternal Word became flesh and blood, and that this Word made His home among us in Jesus (John 1:14). Whenever we see Jesus we see the eternal Word of God, enfleshed, being who He is in the natural order of things, as we perceive the natural order of things.

In this world our lives are covered by God. He is in our story. The question is whether or not we will open our hearts to His presence and let Him be who He is among us. Faith is like that. It embraces Jesus and longs for Him to be Himself in the midst of His people.

When Jesus is present all the possibilities of God are present, too. It is in this light we say that the God with whom nothing is impossible is among us in the person of Jesus. Embrace Him and let Him be Lord in you.
