Visible of Invisible

H. G. Wells’ 1897 novel, The Invisible Man, proposed an interesting theory that if a person’s refractive index is changed to the same as air AND if his body doesn’t absorb or reflect any light, that person will be invisible.  Hmmm ... who wants to be invisible anyway! God makes Himself visible through His children. We’ve all heard it’s never too soon to be kind, but God’s Word tells us there’s never a time to be unkind.  “And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32, AMP). Hearts genuinely and freely forgiven will bear a visible distinction!  Why, the very next sentence says, “Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].” (Ephesians 5:1).   I was led to this passage by the lyrics of a song by Mitchel Jon, “I will do something visible for the Invisible One.”  It made me consider the appearance of my own actions, my behavior toward and before others.  In truth, Believers' lives are a revelation of the Godly Reality within them – a reality show [if you will] to the world of the difference Jesus makes.  Let's carefully consider just how visible the invisible Presence is in us!
