What is God Like? (63 of 70)
And The Word Became Flesh
John 1:14-18
Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, turn to John, chapter 1. I want to talk to you about this question: What is God like? The theologian, A. W. Tozer, is famous for many things. He's written books and he's commented on important things in Scripture. But probably one of his most famous questions was this: "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." Now, I want you to take some time, for just a few seconds here, and think, what is the first thing that comes into my mind when I think about God? You know, for some it's a positive thing that comes into your mind, and then for others, it's a negative thing that comes into your mind. But I believe what Tozer said is true. Whatever it is that comes into your mind when you think about God, that is the most important thing about you. Why? Because God is the most important person in the universe. God is our Creator, and God is the one that all men are going to have to give an account to one day of their lives. Now, I believe that there are many people that have an erroneous picture that hangs in the halls of their mind concerning God. Their picture of God is a distortion. They have bits and pieces of things that they've heard and things that they've read, but it's distorted. It's a distorted view of God. Others have a misinterpretation of God. Others have a caricature of God. It's certain qualities that are overblown and others qualities that are understated. When you see the cartoonist drawing something and somebody with a nose has a much bigger nose, and other features are smaller. Well, what is God like? You know, God is the infinite God, and we are finite creatures. And so, it stands to reason that we would have difficulty understanding God. Now, "The LORD says, 'Let not the rich man boast of his riches, let not the mighty man boast of his might; let not the wise man boast of his wisdom; but l ...
