#soap # Colossians 01 ## Title: If God Were Real… ## Scripture: (Colossians 1:15) “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,” (NET) ## Observation: One of the objections I have heard over and over is that if God were real, why doesn’t He show Himself? Wouldn’t it make sense for Him to reveal Himself to us rather than being hidden. Either God is not real or deism is true… that is that God spun everything into existence, then backed up and let it play out. Enter Jesus. Jesus came and entered into our reality. He showed Himself to us and said, “I’m the one you have been asking to see. Here I am. I really do exist and I am here.” So, when someone says that if God were real He would show Himself to us, I always start to agree and say they are right. Surely, a good God would show Himself. Then, I start talking about Jesus. ## Application: Realize that the Creator of the world has already shown up. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being real and true.
