RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL
*JESUS IS THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF GOD.*
Tuesday, October 20th.
Pastor Chris
_*Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (John 14:8-9).*_
The Bible says in Jesus dwells the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form (Colossians 2:9), meaning anyone who wants to know what God looks like should look at Jesus. No wonder Jesus said to Philip, _*“…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”*_ Jesus is the express image of the Father’s Person.
Some believe that, in heaven, there’re three thrones: one for the Father, one for the Son, Jesus, and then another for the Holy Spirit; but that’s not true. The Father joyfully appointed Jesus as the heir of all things, including His throne.
Thus in heaven, there’s only one throne, and Jesus is the one sitting on that throne. Where then is the Father? He’s in Jesus! The Bible says it pleased the Father, that in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19). Then Colossians 2:9 lets us know that in Him (Jesus) dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. If you’ve seen Jesus, you’ve seen the Father.
No wonder when He said in John 10:30, _*“I and my Father are one,”*_ the Jews picked up stones and wanted to kill Him; why? They said He made Himself equal with God: _*“…for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God”*_ (John 10:33).
The Jews understood what Jesus meant when He said, _*“I and my Father are one.”*_ But they considered His words blasphemous because they didn’t know who He was. Jesus is the perfect image and icon of the Godhead. He’s the expression of God’s glory, and by inheritance, He obtained a more excellent Name in all of heaven and earth. Philippians 2:9-11 declares, _*“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”*_ He’s the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Hallelujah!
