Trust In Jesus to Know the Father
“You believe in God, believe also in me”.
John 14:1-12
If we are to believe in God, we must also believe in Jesus, and Jesus
said: “I and the Father are one… If you had known me you would
have known My Father also and from now on you know Him and
have seen Him”; these are the words of Jesus to his disciples. To have
a relationship with God the Father we must first have a relationship
with Jesus. Jesus was among them, sent from the Father, manifesting
the grace, and truth of God, and therefore he answered their questions
by pointing them to himself. He was the divine object lesson of God,
sent to them by miraculous conception. If you have questions why not
go to Jesus? The disciples had questions, and Jesus answered them,
and Philip asked the question, show us the Father…? and Jesus reply
was: “He who has seen me has seen the Father…” and then Jesus
asked “Do you not believe that I am in the Father; and the Father in
Me?” It takes faith to look beyond mere sight, and trust in God. We
more often than not want to have the tangible; something to feel and
touch, and prove our senses, but that is not the way of faith. Faith
must be the operation of God. He alone authors the faith that lives as
we trust in him, not because of what we see and touch but because of
what we can not see; faith is after all the work of God, “ …and that
not of ourselves lest any man should boast….”the substance of things
hoped for the evidence of things not seen”. If you believe in God then
believe in Jesus also, for as you do your faith will know the truth
about Jesus, and that he was sent of the Father to be your Savior. In
Jesus Name. Pdlg.
