JESUS, OUR FATHER

 

JESUS, OUR FATHER

John 8:19 "Where is your father?" they asked. Jesus answered, “Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, then you would know my Father as well.” NLT

Is God a mystery to you? Let Jesus unravel the mystery. God is way too much for our understanding, but He has allowed us to know enough about himself to satisfy all that our souls need for life and eternity. Jesus is God in human flesh. God chose to limit himself by our humanity in order to help us find Him. He mysteriously was able to live within the confines of our humanity and still remain in heaven. He came and personified himself for us. We are able to understand God in a new light as we observe the life of Jesus.

Like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day, so many people try to find God in other ways. Man tries to reach God and discover who He is without Jesus. It is impossible to know God without Jesus in the heart. It is impossible to really have any kind of a right knowledge of God apart from Jesus. It is impossible to understand the workings of God in the world without Jesus.

There is only one way in which God will make himself known to us and that is through a personal relationship with Jesus. If you want to know more about God, you must know Jesus as your Savior. If you want to know Him better, you must let Jesus be your Lord. God wants all men to know Him and has done all he could do to make it happen. If you are trying to find God some other way, you will fail. Jesus is the only way God can be known on a personal level.

God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit—three distinct and functioning personas of God, yet, they are one in being. Jesus brings all three into focus so we can know God with our hearts, minds, and souls. Hallelujah! What a Savior!
