Jesus dicit

Word 273 of 310Doubt

Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father.

John 14:9

BSB

Read John 14 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (John 14)

Show us the Father

Philip asked: Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. An honest question. He wanted to see God.

Jesus' answer sounds disappointed, but also loving. Have I been with you so long, and you still don't know me? Whoever wants to know what God is like doesn't have to look up. He can look at Jesus.

Question for today

How does my picture of God change when I look at Jesus?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, in you I see the Father. Let me know you better, so that I know God better. Amen.
