Present with his disciples

Admonition 1a Of the Lord’s Body: The Lord Jesus said to His disciples: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father, but by Me. If you had known Me you would, without doubt, have known My Father also: and from now on you shall know Him, and you have seen Him. Philip said to Him:  Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. Jesus said to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known Me? Philip, they that see Me, see the Father also. How can you say, Show us the Father?” The Father “lives in inaccessible light,” and “God is a spirit,” and “no human has seen God at any time.” Because God is a spirit, it is only by the spirit that He can be seen, for “it is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing.”

Present with his disciples.    John 3:16 was one of the first Biblical references having meaning for me. The story of Nicodemus holds a special place in my heart, because he came by night, because he feared what his peers might say or do. Later in time, Philip and the other disciples saw him, and yet unknowingly, saw the Father also.    If Jesus is the way the truth and the life and we see him not how then can we come to the Father? We see Jesus through the intercessions of the holy Spirit, and therefore come to the Father who likewise is Spirit.
