Steven sees Christ standing on the right hand of God the Father

Today's scripture mastery I actually referenced in yesterday's post.  It is Acts 7:55-56.  This is the story of Steven seeing Christ standing on the right hand of God, just before he was stoned to death.

 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

I mentioned yesterday that there have been many people who have seen God.  The scriptures have listed many people who have seen God face to face.

Here are just a few:
Moses (Exodus 33:11).  Moses saw the Lord while he was in the tabernacle.
Isaiah (Isaiah 6:5).  Isaiah saw the Lord when he was first called to be a prophet.
Nephi and Jacob (2 Nephi 11:3).  Nephi teaches that both he and his brother Jacom have seen God.
King Lamoni (Alma 19:13).  He was taught the gospel by a missionary named Ammon.  He had a wonderful vision where he saw Christ.
The brother of Jared (Ether 3:15).  I like this one.  The brother of Jared first saw the finger of the Lord, and was very surprised, as he didn't know that God had a body.  He was then shown Christ's whole body.  It was explained that we are, indeed created after the image of God--not in a figurative sense, but literally.
I mentioned Joseph Smith yesterday.  Here is another time that he saw him: (Doctrine and Covenants 110:2-4).  This sighting happened during the dedication of the Kirtland Temple, and is a very detailed description.

For more references of people who have seen God, see this list of scripture references: (Topical Guide- God, Privilege of Seeing)

I particularly like this reference, as it could apply to each of us.  This one comes from Christ's "Be attitudes" sermon (Matt 5:8):

 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

If we become pure in heart, we have been promised that we too can see God!
