Peter Roselle: To See Me is to See the Father (John 14:9)

Happy Father’s Day 2020! 
In John 14:9 Jesus said to Philip, “You’ve been with me all this time, Philip, and you still don’t understand? To see me is to see the Father." As our culture is writhing in pain and disruption, we choose to turn to Jesus, the one who, "was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone." (Colossians 1:18 MSG).  

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

John 14 (MSG)
7 If you really knew me, 
you would know my Father as well. 
From now on, you do know Him. You’ve even seen Him!”
8 Philip said, “Master, show us 
the Father; then we’ll be content.”
9-10 “You’ve been with me all this time, Philip, 
and you still don’t understand? 
To see me is to see the Father.
9-10 So how can you ask, ‘Where is the Father?’ 
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me?
The words that I speak to you aren’t mere words. 
I don’t just make them up on my own. 
The Father who resides in me crafts each word into a divine act.
11 “Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me.

John 6:63-65 (MSG)
“Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making.
But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this.” 
(Jesus knew from the start that some were NOT going to risk 
themselves with Him).
He went on to say, “This is why I told you earlier 
that NO ONE is capable of coming to me on his own. 
You get to me only as a gift from the Father.”

James 1 (MSG)
12 …for such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life…
13-15 Don’t let anyone under  pressure to give in to evil say, 
“God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil, 
and puts evil in no one’s way.
The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. 
We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up 
of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant and has a baby: sin! 
Sin grows up to adulthood and becomes a real killer.

James 1
16-18 So, my very dear friends, don’t get thrown off course. 
Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. 
The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. 
There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. 
He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off 
as the crown of all His creatures.

Colossians 1 (MSG)
15-18 We look at this Son and see the
God who cannot be seen… look at this Son and see God’s original 
purpose in everything created. 
For everything…above and below, visible and invisible, rank after 
rank of angels—everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. 
He was there before any of it came 
into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. 
And when it comes to the church, 
He organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.
18-20 He was supreme in the beginning and—
leading the resurrection parade—He is supreme in the end. 
From beginning to end He’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. 
So spacious is He, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper 
place in Him without crowding. Not only that, 
but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe – 
people and things, animals and atoms —get properly fixed 
and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of His death, 
His blood that poured down from the cross.
21-23 You yourselves are a case study of what He does. 
At one time you all had your backs turned to God, 
thinking rebellious thoughts of Him, giving Him trouble every chance you got.
But now, by giving Himself completely at the Cross, 
actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God’s side 
and put your lives together, whole and holy in His presence. 
You don’t walk away from a gift like that! 
You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in 
to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. 
There is no other Message—just this one.
