_Key Bible Text:_
*"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; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"* (John 14:9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 14:9 was a response to Philip's request, "Shew us the Father" (John 14:8). Philip's request revealed his misunderstanding of Jesus' divine nature and His relationship with the Father. Jesus had been with the disciples for three years, teaching, preaching, and performing miracles, yet Philip still didn't grasp the reality of Jesus' divinity.
Jesus' reply, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father," emphasizes the unity and oneness between the Father and the Son. Jesus was not just a messenger or a prophet; He was the embodiment of the Father's character, love, and wisdom. By seeing Jesus, the disciples had seen the Father, for Jesus was the exact representation of the Father's being (Hebrews 1:3).
The lesson from this verse is that Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God the Father. We don't need to look beyond Jesus to understand God's nature, love, and character. Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection provide a complete and perfect picture of the Father. As we gaze upon Jesus, we behold the Father, and our understanding of God is transformed forever.
_MEDITATION:_
*AS YOU Behold, gaze more into the life of Christ through the word of God, may you encounter Jesus more and more and be transformed into God's likeness like never before.*
