These people were watching Jesus and today people are watching us.  People are watching us as born again Christians.  What do they see?  Whoever they might be, what do they see?
 
The song asks the question, “Can others see Jesus in you?”
 
What did people see in Jesus?
 
They saw a man because Jesus made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:7-8.  And when they saw him as a man they also saw humility and obedience.
