What will be enough for us to believe that the Father is working in us and through us? How many times does He have to allow us to see His hand in whatever we are doing?
Just before these verses (v. 6-7) Jesus told the disciples that He is the way, the truth and the life, that the only way to the Father was through Him and that if you knew Him then you already knew and had seen the Father. But Philip questioned, just as we often do and asked Jesus to show them the Father even though Jesus clearly said they had already seen the Father because they had seen Him.
How many times has the Lord spoken to you clearly and you have questioned Him or asked Him to show you something over and over that He has already shown you? Hand raised right here. I know I have questioned Him on things. I have asked Him numerous times to show me or tell me the same thing He already has. I know His voice, yet I have still done this. We truly are a stubborn people.
Let’s try to stop questioning Him and asking for things that he’s already shown us. Pray for eyes to see and ears to hear clearly whatever the Lord speaks to us or shows us. The more in tune you are with Him, the better you will hear and see Him.
“Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 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’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.”
John 14:8-10
