To see Christ is to see the Father

Do you want to know God? Get acquainted with Christ through the

pages of the Bible. For to know Christ is to know the Father.

For the followers of Christ asked him to show them the Father

He tells them if they have seen him they have the Father.


JOHN 12:44-45

44 . . .Christ. . .said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in

Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 "And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.


JOHN 14:7-10

7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also;

and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."

8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is

sufficient for us."

9 Christ said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you

have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the

Father; so how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father

in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own

authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.


Why am I stressing this point? It's simple. Most people think

highly of Christ of Nazareth. After all, there is not anything

to fault with Him. But when it comes to God, most people blame

Him for a lot of bad stuff.


The truth is: looking at Christ gives you a perfectly clear

picture of what the invisible God is like. Any other picture is

a lie and a distortion.


The bible tells us that the Word(Christ) was one with the Father.

We need to become one with our Father in spirit. Let us each

seek to die to ourselves and become like Christ each day.
