“If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” Jesus said we find God not on some mountaintop but in human interaction. One of the Desert Fathers said something similar, “Show me the kind of person you are and I will show you your God.” This is somewhat counter-intuitive since God seems so far above ordinary human life. But the coming of Jesus closed the gap between heaven and earth once and for all. Knowing Christ is the way to know God. In addition, Jesus told us that “whatsoever you do to the least, that you do unto me” so having a genuine encounter with another person, particularly “the least,” provides us with the opportunity to recognize that God is present in our midst.
