Revelation Light

John 14:^6-7 “Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him.” (ERV)

John 14:⁹ “…Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father….” (NIV). What a huge statement! Who on earth can say, ‘if you see Me, you have seen The Father?’ It is either an arrogant statement or it is the truth. It is either He is crazy, or He is God. But we believe Jesus is who He says He is, and there is enough proof to show that Jesus is who He says He is. You can know about God through nature. You can learn that God is a God of variety through nature as displayed by the different breeds and species of animals, plants, insects, creatures, etc. I heard that there are six thousand different types of beetles. Amazing! Even the clouds change formation like a live artwork. God is a God of variety, and we can learn that from nature.

We can also learn that God is organized, God is a God of order. From nature – the planets rotate on their own axis, everything in tight precision. We can learn from nature, lightning, tornados, earthquakes, etc., that God is powerful. But there are some things about God that we can never learn from nature, never, only through Christ. For instance, you can only learn that God is love through Christ. “For God so loved the world that He gave Jesus…” (John 3:16). You can only learn the grace of God through Christ. You can only learn the fullness of the light of God through Christ. Colossians 1:¹⁵ “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God…”. A lot of people make a god out of their experiences, the traditions of their parents, and the advice that people give them. But not on the advice of your friend, your traditions, or your experiences. It is on Christ and on Christ alone. You cannot know God outside of Christ, the visible image of the invisible God.

Jesus came to, L – Let Us In On Who God Is. I – Inform Us Of God’s Plan. Your parents may say you were an accident, but God planned for you. I have had to counsel a lot of people with serious self-image issues because their parents said they were mistakes, mere accidents, something that should have been flushed down the toilet. The truth is there are no accidental children, none. God knew who had just the right DNA He needed to create you. Even if you are from illegitimate parents, you are not an illegitimate child. There are no illegitimate children, and no mistakes with God. God uses ‘human error’ for His glory. Just look at David. John 18:³⁷ “I came into the world to tell people the truth.” (NCV). God has a plan for you and Jesus came to reveal God’s plans to you.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, by Your Holy Spirit, reveal God to me, reveal to me who I am in God, and reveal to me God’s plans for my life, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen!
