While sitting on my patio early this morning, loving my devotion and listening to the beautiful sounds of nature all around, I was drawn to a phrase in John 14 where Jesus was talking with the disciples who were questioning about finding the way to where He was going and wanting to know the Father, when Jesus answered in v.6,7 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. IF you really know me, you will know my Father as well," and this phrase leaves me with today's inspirational message.
Do we Really know Jesus and understand that He is one with the Father? Do we really believe there are three persons in one: Father, Son, Holy Spirit? Do we really believe that each of Them; All three of Them are God; Who works together to fulfill the perfect plan in our life? Do we really believe They will never work against the other, but Always work Together in Perfect Unity to fulfill the Father's will and bring glory to the kingdom of God? The key is in the first part of v.7 ,"IF YOU REALLY KNOW ME" and these five Words are LIFE indeed.
Jesus' disciples had walked, talked, eaten, slept, witnessed many miracles along side Jesus and heard Him teach; yet they could not understand where He was going or knowing the Father. Jesus seemed a bit surprised by their questions and not knowing, since they had been with Him through His ministry, but He explained that when they look at Him, they see His Father; that everything they saw in Him and the works they had witnessed through Him, was of the Father in Him; one and both the same; then He went on a bit further through John's writings in chapters 14-17, to explain Holy Spirit in the same manner as explaining the Father; because He saw how difficult it was for His followers to understand the Trinity Godhead at that present time.
In this Present time, many have read and heard the Word and believed and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and actually feel the very presence of Holy Spirit alive and well within, but there are still some who Really don't understand and continue to question the truth regarding the Trinity Godhead; all Three in One as Almighty God. That's where our part of teaching the truth in love as His followers comes into play today. We can help guide them to His WORD and pray for Holy Spirit to open their understanding to His teaching so they can also come to Really know Him Who works within us, Who empowers us to be more than conquerors in this present world. It comes from knowing in Whom we serve and Whose we are, that reassures us GOD IS GOD: FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT; The Trinity Godhead, all three in one.
If you are having doubts and want to learn more from scripture regarding God and His fullness therein, I urge you to read Jesus' teachings in John 14, 15, 16, 17 as He explains how important They are in our lives today. Don't be in a rush so you can allow time for Holy Spirit to guide you through His life changing Word and I guarantee you will be glad you did. Holy Spirit is an Amazing Teacher and is always available to lead us in All our ways, if only we ask. So, I pray you will come to know Him in All His glory; the glory as of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; all Three in One! What a Mighty God we serve!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you, and so do I~~~
