“God is the creator and lover of the world. Jesus
spoke of God as ‘the Father who sent me,’ indicating that, as he says
elsewhere, ‘anyone who has seen me has seen the Father’ (John 14:9). Look hard
at Jesus, especially as he goes to his death, and you will discover more about
God than you could ever have guessed from studying the infinite shining heavens
or the moral law within your own conscience. God is the one who satisfies the
passion for justice, the longing for spirituality, the hunger for relationship,
the yearning for beauty.”—
