Show Us the Father!

In John 14:8 Philip says to Jesus..." Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Where is his faith. Jesus say..." Have you been with me so long and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father..." We seem to want to see one proof after another about the existence of Jesus Christ.

Remember when the Lord was in the wilderness for 40 days and nights? Satan came to Christ and says to throw Himself down upon the rocks and God's Angels in heaven would surely "swoop" down and save Him from imminent destruction? So what if Jesus said, Okay, Satan, here I go. Watch closely now! Always looking for that little glimpse of a miraculous scenery that will seal our faith? Well somewhere down the road Jesus would have had to jump off a HIGHER cliff just to prove He is who He says He is!

Jesus went on to say in John 14...Believe in Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works themselves. "Truly truly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he shall do also; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE HE SHALL DO (emphasized); because I go to the Father."

Jesus has given us the power to move mountains and we cannot even believe ourselves out of a witnessing situation. We shared with a server at dinner last night and later he came back to say thanks for the information. He was a believer in the Lord and it was refreshing to see someone "stretch" their faith without having to "jump of a cliff."

Don't miss the opportunity.
