Help Us to Get to Know You

“Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know Me?" John 14:9

Does Jesus get frustrated? He certainly seems so in this instance. He told His disciples, "If you really knew Me, you would know My Father also. From this point on you KNOW Him; you have SEEN Him." And Phillip asks right after, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us!"

Could Jesus be any clearer? If we know Him, we would know the Father! And we CAN know Jesus through His Word. There is soooo much of Jesus in the Bible, EVEN in the Old Testament. That's why, on the road to Emmaus, in Luke 24:27, Jesus took the time to explain the passages in Scripture, “beginning with Moses and all the prophets", all the things concerning Himself! If we take the time to discover Jesus in the Scriptures, we too will say like the disciples: “Were not our hearts burning within us?" (Luke 24:32)

Lord, help us to know You through Your Word! Guide us though the Scriptures, and give us eyes to see You!
