Jesus has been with Philip for a long time

Philip has already understood Jesus fully

Jesus challenges the request to be shown the Father

Look for a different picture of God apart from Jesus

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and lived as though I did not know you. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Open my eyes to know the Father through you, and lead my life from this day forward. Amen.

Know the Father in Jesus

Lord, revive your Church where we have spoken about you without truly knowing you. Wake our hearts, restore our reverence for Christ, and make us a people who look to the Son and come to know the Father more clearly. Awaken us again, and let our lives point others to Jesus, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Us to Christ

Pray by naming one area where your picture of God feels unclear, ask Jesus to show you the Father's heart, then linger over one Gospel story that reveals him.

Pray to See Jesus Clearly

Give thanks for Jesus, because in him the Father is not distant or hidden. Thank God for a Savior whose words, mercy, and truth make God's heart visible.

Thank You for Making the Father Known

Pray for a person who knows about Jesus but has not yet recognized him, for people confused by many voices about God, and for your church to point gently and clearly to Christ.

For Those Still Learning Who Jesus Is

Father, train me to look to Jesus first when I think about you. Let me see your heart in his words and actions, and make my life more like his, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Learn the Father's Heart from Jesus

John 14 : 9 - Revelation, Knowledge, Identity

Jesus  said to him, "Have I been with you all this long, and you have not come to know Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father . How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?"
