Pastor Eric's Words of Redemption

Bible verse:

John 14:6–11 (NIV) -- ⁶ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷ If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” ⁸ Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. ¹¹ Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves..

My take for today:

Jesus Christ is God incarnate.

My prayer:

Oh God, I thank You for knowing that You are in Christ. 

As your Son, Christ, declares: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you know Me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know Me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in Me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my authority.”  

Lord God, I thank you for showing us what You are like in Jesus Christ. Amen.
