The Kitchen Newsletter
Good day,
Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.
Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.
What does God look like?
It is a simple question, but Scripture gives us an answer that is far more concrete than we often realise.
The Bible calls God invisible. Yet Scripture also tells us that the invisible God has made Himself known—not merely through ideas, doctrines, or written sentences, but through a Person.
John, on the island of Patmos, saw Him.
“I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…”
And what John saw was astonishing: a figure with a head and hair, eyes, feet, a voice, hands, a face and a mouth. John was describing the appearance of Jesus Christ—the living Word of God.
Revelation 1:12–17
This is why Scripture says:
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.”
Hebrews 1:3
And again:
“Christ, who is the image of God.”
2 Corinthians 4:4
So we can say:
The Body of the Word is the image of the invisible God.
The Scriptures Reveal a Person
This changes the way we should read Scripture.
We are accustomed to reading the Bible primarily as a collection of words, teachings, commandments, promises and historical accounts. But Scripture itself tells us that the Scriptures testify about a Person.
Jesus said:
“These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”
John 5:39
The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about God. They testify about Jesus Christ, the living Word.
Consider one example.
John saw the eyes of Christ and wrote:
“His eyes were like blazing fire.”
Revelation 1:14
That is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.
But Scripture also says:
“Our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:29
The description of the Body therefore becomes a revelation about God Himself.
The same principle runs through the Scriptures: the details of the Body of the Word testify about the Person of the Word and reveal the invisible Father.
Paul writes:
“God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6
The “face of Christ” becomes a point of revelation—the Body of the Word revealing the invisible God.
Scripture Must Be Unfolded
This is where something particularly provocative begins to emerge.
What if the Scriptures are not simply information about God, but the Father's script for revealing Himself?
Psalm 119:130 says:
“The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
Psalm 119:130
The Word must be unfolded.
We can read a Scripture without necessarily seeing the revelation contained within it.
We can know the sentence without knowing the Person whom the sentence reveals.
That is the difference between merely reading Scripture and receiving revelation.
The detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore not decorative language. They are scriptural descriptions that can be unfolded to reveal the Father.
Paul describes this revelation as:
“the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6
So the purpose of the unfolding is not simply to give us more biblical information.
It is to give us the revelation knowledge of the Father.
The Body of the Word: White Like Wool and Snow
Consider the description John gives:
“His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.”
Revelation 1:14
This is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.
But John is not alone in seeing this.
Daniel saw the Ancient of Days and wrote:
“His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.”
Daniel 7:9
Then Song of Solomon gives another description:
“His appearance is like Lebanon.”
Song of Solomon 5:15
Lebanon was associated with its mountainous, snow-covered appearance.
The Scriptures are therefore giving us a repeated picture.
The Body of the Word is white like wool, as white as snow.
And because Christ is:
“the exact representation of his being”
Hebrews 1:3
the description of Christ also becomes a revelation concerning the invisible God.
This is why the details matter.
The head matters.
The hair matters.
The eyes matter.
The face matters.
The hands matter.
The feet matter.
The mouth matters.
The voice matters.
The entire Body becomes a vocabulary through which Scripture speaks about the Person of the Word.
The Body Is More Than a Description
Every detailed description of the Body of the Word is also a Scripture because it testifies about the Person of the Word.
Jesus said:
“These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”
John 5:39
Therefore, the description of His whiteness is not simply a physical observation.
It is a testimony.
It is a Scripture.
It is a figure of speech.
It is a revelation waiting to be unfolded.
And Scripture gives us a principle for understanding this:
“I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”
Matthew 13:35
God uses visible and natural things to communicate invisible and spiritual realities.
The Body of the Word is therefore not merely something we look at.
It is something Scripture teaches us to understand.
The Father Is Speaking Through the Body
Isaiah gives us another remarkable statement:
“The hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants.”
Isaiah 66:14
Why the hand?
Because the hand is part of the body.
The hand becomes a doorway into understanding the Body of the Word.
And the Body becomes a doorway into understanding the Person of the Word.
And the Person of the Word reveals the invisible Father.
Body → Person → Father.
This is why I believe Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is addressing His Church through the detailed descriptions of His Body.
He is continually making the Father known.
Jesus said:
“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”
John 14:9
And the Holy Spirit does not speak independently of Christ. Jesus said:
“He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.”
John 16:14
The Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known.
And Paul tells us:
“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:10
So there are depths in God that the Holy Spirit searches and reveals.
Scripture Is God's Script for His Work
There is another dimension to this revelation.
The Scriptures are not merely records of what God has done. They are also the script through which His purposes are fulfilled.
Again and again, Jesus said:
“It is written…”
Matthew 4:4, 7, 10
And concerning His ministry:
“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Luke 4:21
The Scriptures therefore have a relationship with God's performance on Earth.
When the Father has an intention, He opens Scripture according to that intention.
When He is doing a work, He brings particular Scriptures into revelation.
When the Spirit speaks to the churches, He speaks through what is being revealed:
“Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 2:7
This makes the present question very important:
What is the Spirit saying to the Church through the Scriptures He is opening?
And if Christ is presently revealing Himself through the detailed descriptions of His Body, then these revelations deserve our attention.
The Body of the Word Is Our Inheritance
The Father has not given us Christ merely so that we can know facts about Him.
He has given us Christ so that we can know Him.
The Body of the Word is therefore not something we should approach casually.
It is an inheritance.
It is a revelation.
It is an invitation to know the Person of the Word in greater detail.
The Scriptures testify about Him.
The Holy Spirit reveals Him.
The Father is seen in Him.
And the more the Scriptures are unfolded, the more light we receive concerning the Person of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father.
So perhaps the question is no longer simply:
“Do you read the Bible?”
The deeper question is:
“Do you recognise the Person whom the Scriptures are revealing?”
Because the Bible is testifying.
The Spirit is speaking.
The Scriptures are being unfolded.
And behind the revelation stands a Person:
Jesus Christ, the living Word of God—the image of the invisible God.
