The Replica Of The Godhead – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 28th

(Jesus Is The Express Image Of The Father)

TO THE BIBLE: John 14:8-9
“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; so how can you say, “Show us the Father”?”

LET’S TALK
The Bible says that in Jesus dwells the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form, meaning anyone who wants to know what God looks like should look at Jesus.

No wonder He said to Philip, “he who has seen Me has seen the Father.” Jesus is the express image of the Father’s Person; He is the effulgence of His glory.

The Bible says it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19).

No wonder He said in John 10:30, ”I and My Father are one.” When He said this, the Jews picked up stones and wanted to stone Him. Why? They said, ”…for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”

The Jews understood the import of what Jesus meant when he said, “I and My Father are one,” but they considered His words blasphemous because they didn’t know who Jesus was. Jesus is one with the Father; He is the complete embodiment of Deity.

So, if you’ve ever wondered whether God is distant or difficult, study Jesus. Watch how He treated people. Study the Word. When you see Jesus, you won’t need to look for the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the perfect image and replica of the Godhead. He’s the expression of God’s glory, and by inheritance, not only has He obtained a more excellent name in all of heaven and earth, but the Father has crowned Him with all glory, honour and majesty.

He’s the Monarch of the universe, and He’s also your best friend. He’s the express image of the Father’s person.

Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I ascribe to you all glory, honour and majesty. You’re the King of glory, the joy of heaven, and the bright morning star! You’re the effulgence of God’s glory, the beauty of divinity, and the perfect expression of the Father’s person. I worship and adore you, precious saviour, for there’s none like you! May your kingdom reign in the earth, and be established forever in the hearts of all men. Amen.
