Seeing Jesus is seeing the Father in His fulness

May 3, 2017

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father"? John 14:9

Philip, who had been with Jesus for three years was constantly hearing about ‘God the Father’. He was wondering where the Father was and longed to catch a glimpse of Him. But Jesus reveals to Philip and also to all of us who have not yet penetrated the mystery of His Divine Person the great truth that in Himself dwells the Divinity in all it’s fulness - and in Him, and in Him alone is the Father, God the Creator whom no human being has seen or can ever see, made visible to all humanity.
