SHOW US THE FATHER

“SHOW US THE FATHER”

"If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from now on you know him, and have seen him”.

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it will be sufficient for us”.

Jesus said to him, “Have I been such a long time with you, and you have not yet known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Then how can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own, but the Father who lives in me is doing these things. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; or else believe me because of the deeds themselves."

-Text: John 14:7-11

*Philip wanted a visible revelation. Likewise we today. Most people wanted a visible God they can touch and that's why the Son of God is made manifest.

To know Jesus is to know the Father

(Colossians 1:15)

*Jesus is the express Image of God. 

"The Son is the brightness of God’s glory, and the exact image of his nature, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had by himself purged our sins he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

-Hebrews 1:3.

A son resembles his father so clearly that when people see him, they say, “That’s his father’s image.

Jesus is not merely like God — He is God revealed.

When you look at Jesus, you see the heart of God.

Have you seen God in Jesus?

Are you still doubting by asking "show us the father"? Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in the Son. And if you know Him He shall be sufficient for you and we are co-heir with the Son.

God bless you!
