Who’s the best authority on God?
I think God would want me to __________.
I don’t think God would want me to __________.
Jesus answered, “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. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
- John 14:6-7
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?”
- John 14:8-9
“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?”
- John 14:9-10
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ…
- Colossians 1:15&19
Jesus is the BEST authority on who God truly is! If we want to see God, we must look at Christ!
Without revelation we end up making God in our image instead of being made in His image.
See God through:
our Crazy
our Circumstances
our Culture
Jesus is the clear authority on God that we need to navigate the complexities of life.
