The mysterious invisibility of God has
always been a problem for humanity. The seeming invisibility of God is where
agnostic and atheist thinkers make their mistake by equating invisibility with
unknowability and from that conclusion, then leaping to God’s non-existence.
However, scientists have long ago learned that invisibility is not equivalent
with imaginary or pretend or untrue. Science knows that atoms are invisible but
they are real. So are sound waves, time, wind, and gravity invisible but
nonetheless existent. God’s Invisibility does not make God less authentic, less
authoritative, less nearby. Rather, this breathtaking, invisible God is as actual
as anything else that we perceive with our senses. The wind blows wherever it
pleases and it makes things happen, like waving grasses and bending trees and
crashing waves at the shoreline. Similarly God affects outcomes. He exists even
though he is unseen. Then there is Jesus. Jesus is God, and in coming here, he
has made God visible to us.
