70614|To Behold the Face of God

from Behind the Sacred Desk

An ancient longing is satisfied when humankind can behold the face of God. Inspired by Job 42:5, Dr. Hickman M. Johnson preaches a sermon-poem of the believer’s quest to look into the face of the Divine, in spite of the risk. An occasional glance leaves the believer desiring more. Imagine what Adam must have experienced when, “in the cool of the evening,” God visited him and Adam is permitted to see God face-to-face? The use of poetry, as a literary device, allows the preacher to soar beyond the limits of prose.
