John
Prelude;
By now, Jesus has made it known that He is a reflection of His Father;
John 1:18
* No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
* Colossians 1:15 NIV
[15] The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
* Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being,
Jesus has said that He only does as the Father does;
John 5:19 NIV
“Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
Jesus has made known to them everything He learned from the Father and how they are to follow Him.
John 13:15
I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
Scripture;
John 15:26 NIV
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.
And as He does,
You'll recognize the truth, you'll know right from wrong, you'll recognize Him in others, you'll recognize your brothers and sisters, you'll know your one and the same, you’ll know we're cut from the same cloth, you'll know your on the same mission, you'll know how to bring God glory, you'll know how to defy evil, you'll know what to do for the oppressed, the lost the weak the old those lost children of God whom have not seen the light. You'll know what power you weild, what armor to wear, what measures to take, what miracles to accomplish through Him. You'll know who God is, and you'll understand why you were created.
"The “best” lies contain an element of truth
And many lies are those of omission.
But...
For every good reason to chase a lie, there is a better reason to pursue the truth."
Let the Spirit of Truth within you lead your life!
Prayer;
"Heavenly Father, You alone are the highest and greatest, Your ways are perfect, and Your precepts divine! Your will, Your way is what I need in my life. Thank you for not letting me stray! Amen.
In the teachings of Christianity, understanding the nature of Jesus as the reflection of God is crucial. Scriptural references like John 1:18 and Colossians 1:15 emphasize that Jesus is the exact representation of God's being and glory. This insight is essential for believers as it illustrates how Jesus embodies the divine truth, offering a pathway to relationship and understanding of God. As followers of Christ, we are encouraged to emulate His actions and character. In John 5:19, Jesus emphasizes that He acts in accordance with what He sees the Father doing, highlighting the importance of divine guidance. Moreover, John 15:26 reassures us of the Holy Spirit's role as a guide who will testify about Jesus and lead believers into all truth. This continues to remind us that recognizing truth is fundamental to living a life aligned with God’s will. The power believers wield through faith in Jesus enables them to navigate life's challenges and pursue righteousness. Reflecting on the instruction from John 13:15 to 'do as I have done for you', believers find a model for living that is not just about worship but about daily actions that bring glory to God. This connection to divine truth is vital, especially when faced with misleading narratives in life, calling for a pursuit of authentic truth through the Spirit of Truth.
