My Father’s Child

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Chronicles 21–22
• John 14

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.

John 14:9

They looked down at the faded photograph, then up at me, then over at my father, then back at me, then back at my father. Their eyes were as wide as the proverbial saucers. “Dad, you look just like Papa when he was young!” My father and I grinned because this was something we’d known for a long time, but it wasn’t until recently that my children came to the same realization. While my father and I are different people, in a very real sense to see me is to see my father as a younger man: tall, lanky frame; full head of dark hair; prominent nose; and rather large ears. No, I am not my father, but I am most definitely my father’s son.      

A follower of Jesus named Philip once asked, “Lord, show us the Father” (John 14:8). And while it wasn’t the first time Jesus had indicated as much, His response was still cause for pause: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (v. 9). Unlike the physical resemblances between my father and me, what Jesus says here is revolutionary: “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?” (v. 10). His very essence and character were the same as His Father’s.

In that moment Jesus was being straightforward with His beloved disciples and us: If you want to know what God is like, look at Me.   

By:  John Blase

Reflect & Pray

What are some of the characteristics of Jesus (and the Father) that resonate strongly with you, and why? How has He been molding your character?

Jesus, when things seem overwhelming, remind me that to see You is to see the Father. Help me keep my eyes fixed on You.

THANK YOU

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

How is your area doing these last couple days?

Your mixer making progress?

[PROCON]

WOO-HOO, thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

I sure am glad that retirement requires so little training. Very day is OJT if I choose to.

Frontier Flights - I'm Down There Somewhere

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening ML...((HUGS))...a Blue update? Is she doing well?

How is Penny during the shutdown? Are you able to get out and about further than must your neighborhood?

[luvie]

Always remembering them and honoring them for what they do to keep us safe and free!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion….train hard. You want to get it right.

[left that other site]

Blue is still at the spa, and I’m gathering the funds to bail her out...LOL.

Meanwhile, Penny and I are enjoying little neighborhood walks in this beautiful weather.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...still sunshine?

We’ve had sun most of the day, but the wind is starting to blow and it looks like rain clouds towards the mountains.

And FR keeps giving me an error each time I try to post the ping...I’ll just keep trying.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Not much sunshine today which worked out well. Still hot but not as hot as they’d predicted so I was able to get the grocery shopping done in the afternoon rather than wait til after supper. Supposed to be stormy tomorrow.

You’re clouds look more impressive than the radar. You might get some sprinkles if the clouds can get over the mountains.

So FR’s giving you problems with your ping again, is it? >:-/

[The Mayor]

Things are calmer now thank God. After that Buffalo Cop got run over things got heated.

Slow moving still on mixer, waiting on parts. Everything is in slow motion hate to say.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Still feeling like a new man with that fresh haircut? :-)
You must have been pretty shaggy after three months without one.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Hope your day was good. Have all the kittehs checked in?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...still toasty warm.

We were sunny today, looking like rain anytime now, but nothing yet. We NEED rain.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...lots of flying after the layoff, and now home for a few days. WOOHOO!
