Jesus came to make God known more than ever before. Christians tend to think we “know” all about God because we’ve heard a lot of Bible stories, especially the Christmas ones. John reminds us that we’ve still barely scratched the surface of who God is. The God who “tabernacled” among us in the glory of flesh comes to us full of grace and truth, which he pours out on us over and over again. We can examine our grasp of this reality with three tests: The Staring Test, the Gathering Test, and the Least of These Test. Ultimately, growing in the knowledge of God satisfies us in him, while always leaving us hungry to see him face to face.
