This Scripture makes me wonder how many times we may have seen the Lord, but didn't know it. Consider these things.
 
1  The pure in heart will see God. (Matthew 5:8) We assume that Jesus is talking about seeing God in Heaven, but He doesn't say that. That is just something we read into the verse.
 
2  Jacob, when traveling laid down in a certain place to sleep and had the dream of the ladder that went into Heaven. Upon awakening he said, "Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it." (Genesis.28:16)
 
3  Hebrews 13:2 tells us that some of us have entertained angels without knowing it.
 
4.  In Revelation.3:18 God admonishes us to anoint our eyes with His eye salve so that we can see.
 
I bet that each one of you has a story of someone who suddenly showed up at the moment when you needed help or aid. What would the Lord or an angel look like? They would look just like the average person that you pass on the street or sidewalk. That's what the young man looked like on the sidewalk in Sarasota, Florida as he passed me and smiled with a smile that I can remember even to this day. I turned about to look at him again, but there was nobody in sight.
 
My friend, you are not nearly as alone as you may think! Let's all pray, "Open my eyes Lord, I want to see Jesus!"
