What Jesus teaches about The Nature of God
Introduction
Welcome to today’s devotional about one of the most profound truths in the Bible – The Nature of God as taught by Jesus Christ. This fundamental concept helps us understand God more and appreciate His love, kindness, and lordship.
Through various parables and sermons, Jesus gives us a glimpse into the heart of God which is full of mercy, grace, and unconditional love. These illustrations help us develop a personal and intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. Let’s dive deeper into the teachings of Jesus and how we can apply these in our day-to-day lives.
Bible Verse
John 14:9 – “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?”
Meaning
The nature of God can best be understood through the life and teachings of Jesus. In the given verse, Jesus is essentially stating that anyone who has seen Him has seen God, as He and the Father are one. This implies that God is perfectly reflected in Jesus – His character, actions, and teachings.
Jesus embodied the attributes of God – mercy, kindness, love and forgiveness, while on earth. He also demonstrated God’s power through performing miracles and resolving spiritual conflicts. His teachings shed light on God’s wisdom and His plan for mankind’s redemption.
Understanding God, therefore, is not a complex, metaphysical exercise. We need to look no further than Jesus, His words, and His actions. Through Him, we get a clear picture of who God is – a father who loves unconditionally, forgives generously, and welcomes every prodigal with open arms.
