1 | Do you know Him? | John 14:8 | Ray | 110865 | ||
I have been thinking of Exodus 3 and the name YHWH, and about God saying "I am who I am". Moses was wondering if he would have to tell the people just "who it was that sent him". So this verse and others in the gospel of John came to my mind, and I wonder if we need to be told the Name or whether "it", (being shown the Father), is enough for us. From the heart, Ray John 14:7,8, "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him. 8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." |

Thanks, Ray, for linking these texts. Beautiful. Here are some of my reflections on these passages... Jesus, thankfully, is not a series of axioms we can type out. We must meet this living God in person. This also says something about how we introduce others to the Covenant God. The answer to Moses was all about relationship (God of Abraham, Isaac, etc..) Jesus' answer is also about relationship: "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still don't know me?..." Jesus is the perfect embodiment of the Father. But we, too, are to live incarnationally - with God within us. The promise of the Spirit follows closely (verse 26). Jesus shows us the Father... and, by our "doing greater works than these," we introduce others to Jesus. God depends on embodiment, where language fails. Let us be faithful to that call. Yours, JRM. |

Hi JRM, Exodus 3:2, NKJ, "And the (Angel) of the *Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush. Exodus 3:13, "...'The (God) of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they say to me, 'What is *His name?' What shall I say to them?" John 14:9, "...'Have (I) been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know *Me, Philip?" Parentheses and *star are mine for comparison. We know this living God in person when we know this Person. From the heart, Ray |
