Laser Truth

Philip said to Him,
"Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." Jesus said to him,
"Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has
seen Me has seen the Father."
John 14:8-9

Recommended Reading Hebrews 1:1-8

Have
you ever seen a movie in which a thief sprays a substance into the air, and
suddenly the invisible beams of a laser security grid become visible? The world
is full of invisible phenomena, which, under certain conditions, momentarily
become perceptible to the eye.

The Bible teaches that God
is invisible, but Jesus came to show us the Father. He, being God, is the
materialization or manifestation of God. Colossians 1:15 says, "He is the
image of the invisible God," and Hebrews 1:3 says, "The Son is the
radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being"
(NIV).

Jesus wasn't merely a
great man, a great teacher, or a great moralist. He was, is, and always will be
God himself, and that's the reason for our rejoicing. As hymnist Frederick W.
Faber wrote:

Jesus is God! O! could I
now but compass earth and sea,
To teach and tell the single truth, how happy
should I be!

My presupposition
is that Jesus' claims are valid because He is God in human
flesh.
Josh McDowell
