8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. Today's reading in My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers led me to the above passage. Mr. Chambers states that Jesus is calling Philip into a closer relationship with Him. Chambers makes the point that our greatest fulfillment in life is an intimate relationship with the Lord. I also see in this passage that Jesus is the Lord. That whomever has seen Him as seen the Father. To a certain extent it could also be said that this is how people see Jesus today. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are within me. Can people see the Father in my life?
