Packer: the source of revelation

Saturday, July 18, 2020
Meditation:
    No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.
    —John 1:18 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Revelation is a divine activity, not a human achievement. It is not the same thing as discovery or the dawning of insight or the emerging of a bright idea. Revelation does not mean people finding God, but God finding us, God sharing his secrets with us, God showing us himself.
