[Scriptures]John 14: 8-11
Hallelujha! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
When Jesus taught the disciples about God and told them about God while testifying, Philip, one of the disciples, asked Jesus to show God to him. He said ‘now that I know God, I really want to see Him,’ and said that he would be satisfied and happy if Jesus showed God to him.
To Philip who was asking to be shown God, Jesus said, “Anyone who has seen me has seen God.”
Whether you believe this one sentence or not determines your salvation and determines your destiny!
Those who heard this Word but failed to understand it became slanderers and opposers who opposed Jesus to the extreme, and saying “This is blasphemous. He is telling us to see him as God the Divine,” they immediately ostracized him, treated him like a heretic, and persecuted him.
On the other hand, those who heard that Word and understood it and believed it, rejoiced, delighted in it, and their destinies split off and went toward life.
Jesus was not God Himself. Both his body and flesh were different. However, you have to understand his position of what he meant when he said seeing him was seeing God.
I will give you a parable about this. The broadcasting station transmits programs through radio waves. However, people cannot see them unless they have a monitor. When the broadcasting station transmits programs through radio waves, people watch them through ‘a monitor.’ Likewise, God spreads the Word that saves the time period through the body of the savior of the time period, thereby letting people see the Trinity and Their work.
Jesus, as a person that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son sent at the time of the New Testament, was the savior who would fulfill God’s Will. Therefore, he was connected to the Trinity. That is why he said “Anyone who has seen me has seen God.”
Likewise, you have to see the things that are connected as one.
Then you will see the essence and so be set on fire, also raise the level of wisdom and knowledge, and raise your spiritual level and keep going up; only then will you become someone who has put up the sail and be hundreds of meters ahead on the long voyage.
You have realized the fundamental meaning of the things that are connected are one,
so I hope that you know that things are like this in your daily life, have the correct perception and mentality, and live a blessed life.
