“If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
–John 14:7
I remember back in the 60s when those Russian cosmonauts went up into outer space for a few hundred miles, came back, and said, “We have searched the heavens and there is no God.” Well, I’ll tell you one thing: if they had stepped out of that space capsule, they would have met Him face to face!
When you look at so many of the world’s philosophies today, it becomes clear that many people are living without God. And before Jesus, you and I were without God as well. That’s why, in today’s passage, Jesus clearly equates knowing Him with knowing His Father. You can’t have one without the other!
To be without Christ is to be without God. And if you don’t know Jesus, you don’t know God. You may know about God, but Jesus didn’t just come to tell us who God is. He came to show us who God is!
So the next time you talk with someone who has a different worldview than you, introduce them to your God by introducing them to Jesus. Tell them of His love for them and what He did to save them. When you show them Jesus, they’ll understand God in a whole new way!
WHEN YOU TELL OTHERS ABOUT GOD, TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT JESUS DID FOR THEM ON THE CROSS AND ALLOW THEM TO SEE GOD IN A NEW LIGHT!
