Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will
be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Matthew 1:23 “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and
they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”
In
Isaiah’s prophecy about My birth, he referred to Me as Eternal Father. There is
unity of essence in the Trinity, even though it is comprised of three Persons.
When the Jews were questioning Me in the temple, I went so far as to say: “I
and the Father are one.” Later, when Philip asked Me to show the Father to the
disciples, I said: “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father.” So never think
of Me as just a great teacher. I am God, and the Father and I live in perfect
unity.
As you
come to know Me in greater depth and breadth, realize that you are also growing
closer to the Father. Don’t let the mysterious richness of the Trinity confuse
you. Simply come to Me, recognizing that I am everything you could ever need Me
to be. I—your only Savior—am sufficient for you. In the midst of this busy
Advent season, keep bringing your focus back to My holy Presence. Remember that
Immanuel has come, and rejoice!
John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”
John 14:9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you
know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who
has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
