FAQ # 173
QUESTION 173
: How can we see
the father, when we see Jesus (John 14:8)?
When
Jesus was asked to show the father, his response was, “Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me?”
How
is this and “no man hath seen God at anytime” (John 1:8)? Because God
is a spirit (John 4:24). Jesus is simply that spirit clothe in Flesh.
So, when you see the physical Jesus, you haven’t seen the real essence
of God - which is spirit.
For
example, when you see me, you see Oneil, the man. However, I’m clothe,
so you’ll see my real figure bulging through my clothes; which shows my
masculine features and reveals that I’m a man. Likewise, you have not
seen what is under the clothes; God forbid.
Similarly,
God was in Christ or God is Christ. God’s attributes were bulging through
Jesus Christ, as my masculine features are bulging through my clothes.
Christ had Godly features like forgiving sins, receiving worship and other
attributes that only God posses: Which gives away that he is God or God
the spirit clothe in flesh.
Therefore,
physically looking at the man Jesus you haven’t seen his real essence,
which is under his flesh – spirit. I know that I’m a man and you can see
the physical features, so I can boldly declare that I’m a man; because
I know what is in my pants. Jesus knew he is God and you see his Godly
attributes, so he could have said, “If ye had known me, ye should have
known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him”
(John 14:7).
