God's Servant

A CERTAIN missionary was one day talking with a heathen man. This man said to the missionary: “I go to the place where you worship, but I see nothing of your God. If you come to my temple, I will show you there the god that I worship; but I never see your God. Why don't you show him to me?”
“Come here,” said the missionary, stepping out of the house into the open air. It was noonday, and the sun was shining with great power. The missionary pointed up to it and said to the heathen, “Look at yonder sun.” He tried to look at it for a moment; but he instantly turned away his face, and covered his eyes with his hands.
“I can't look at that,” he said; “it blinds me.”
“Well,” said the missionary, “that sun is only one of the servants of my God. If you can't bear to look at one of his servants, how can you expect to see the Master of that servant, the great God who made him? No sinful man can see God in this world and live.”—Selected.
