John 1:9-12, 18

The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
