Without light, it's impossible to see. Therefore, God made light His first creation and gave human beings eyes to see all that He made. But when our eyes failed to see their Creator through His creation, God sent His Son into our flesh to illumine our darkness with His uncreated Light, Jesus Christ. God dwells in unapproachable light, but He came to us in the human flesh of Jesus so that in Him we might see with our eyes the invisible God. Simeon is our example, for when He desired to see God with his own eyes, He didn't try to look into the heights of heaven, but took the child Jesus up in his arms, in Whose flesh he saw the salvation of God himself. So, we also look to Jesus to see the face of God. Although He comes to us now in words of Holy Scripture and hidden under bread and wine, there will come a day when we will see His unveiled glory face to face with our created and resurrected eyes.
