Saint John tells us that we cannot imagine what God has in store for us who are His children, but this we do know, that we shall see Him as He is: “Dearly beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall later be has not yet come to light. We know that when is comes to light we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1Jn. 3.2). Notice that John says, “we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” It is because we are made in the image of God, sharing His divine nature that we shall be able to see God as He sees Himself!
Advent season is a reminder of the hope we have for Jesus Christ. Jesus promises: “Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God” (Mt. 5.8); and Paul, in enumerating the gifts that God bestows upon His beloved, speaks of the immediate vision of God as His ultimate gift: “Now we see indistinctly, as in a (dark) mirror; then we shall see face to face. My knowledge is imperfect now; then I shall know even as I am known” (1 Cor. 13.12).
