Bible Verse
John 14:9 (NIV): “Jesus answered, ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?'”
Meaning
In this powerful verse, Jesus reveals an incredible truth: seeing Him is seeing the Father. This means that the nature and character of God can be witnessed through the life and actions of Jesus. The compassion of Jesus, His unconditional love, His righteous judgments, and His desire to reach out to the marginalized—all these show us who God is.
Jesus Christ embodied God’s love in every way. When He healed the sick, forgave sins, and even in His sacrificial death on the cross, He portrayed God’s infinite grace and mercy. Through His resurrection, He demonstrated God’s power over sin and death, assuring us of a living hope.
Understanding that Jesus is the exact representation of God changes everything. We don’t have to look to various sources to understand who God is. We only need to look at Jesus, who shows us a God who deeply cares about us, who is intimately involved in our lives, and who desires an everlasting relationship with us.
