Saturday, May 6: Scripture – John 14:8-11
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, but if you do not, then believe because of the works themselves.
Prayer Focus: Philip is not satisfied with Jesus’ answer and asks to see the Father. Jesus, apparently frustrated but not dismissive, responds that he’s been there the whole time. If we want to know what God the Father is like, we need to look at Jesus. If we want to show others who God the Father is, we need to show them Jesus. If we can’t believe the words, look for the actions. Pray that you might see the Father today. Pray that others might see Jesus in you.
