CrossCamp Formation Truth
If you want to know God's heart, look at Jesus.
Morning Reflection
A boy in Accra once asked his grandmother, "Nana, what does God look like?" She thought for a while, then pointed to the sunrise. "No one has seen Him fully," she said. "But if you want to know His heart, look at Jesus."
The boy never forgot that answer. Years later, whenever he felt unsure about God — was He angry? Kind? Far away? — he stopped guessing. He just looked at how Jesus treated people.
The Word
A lot of people are confused about God. Is He strict? Is He kind? Is He watching to punish us, or watching to love us?
Jesus answers that clearly: "Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father." That means every time Jesus was kind to someone others ignored, every time He forgave someone others judged, every time He stopped to help — that was God showing us exactly what He's like.
You don't have to guess who God is. Just look at Jesus.
A Simple Story Jesus Might Tell Today
A man wanted to know what the sun looked like, but he could never look at it directly — it was too bright. So he looked at its reflection in a calm river instead, and finally understood its shape and light. Jesus is like that river. God is too big to fully picture. But in Jesus, we see Him clearly.
CrossCamp ReflectionWhat do you believe about God that Jesus' life actually proves wrong?
Read one chapter of Luke today. Notice how Jesus treats people.
Father, thank You for showing me who You are through Jesus. Help me stop guessing and start looking at Him. Amen.
