A little different format today. I am simply going to let Scripture speak to the fact that the clearest way to see the Father (God) is to look at Jesus (God). As you read these verses please allow the Holy Spirit (God) to enlighten your understanding, illuminate your spiritual eyesight, and give you revelation knowledge of the true “Image” of God.
“In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word [Jesus] was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was God.” (John 1:1 ESV)
“No one has ever seen God; the only God [Jesus], who is at the Father’s side, he [Jesus] has made him known.” (John 1:18 ESV)
“So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.” (John 5:19 ESV)
“So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.” (John 8:28 ESV)
“I [Jesus] and the Father are one.” (John 10:30 ESV)
“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’?” (John 14:9 ESV)
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ [Jesus], who is the image of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV)
“He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him [Jesus] and for him [Jesus]. And he [Jesus] is before all things, and in him [Jesus] all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:15-17 ESV)
“He [Jesus] is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he [Jesus] upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he [Jesus] sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3 ESV)
