"'If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.'" (John 14:7). There is more that is said in this conversation, but this statement from Jesus is what I would like to reflect on today.
Sometimes, even I wonder if I truly know the love of God. I hear different bible passages and stories throughout the liturgical years, and seek out the Truth of Who He says He is. Not only does this help me get to know Him, it also reveals what kind of relationship I can have with Him.
Is He happy with me?
Will He forgive me for such-and-such a shortcoming?
Is He angry with me?
Then here, in this very cited passage of the gospel, Jesus shows his attributes to also be God's attributes. So why do I wonder or even fall short of grasping, Who He is? Is this not the reality of the Trinity? Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as One?
So Jesus is the revelation of God, as St. Paul also says, Who really is not a mystery, and I can regain the confidence I can have in Him, because He does look on me with love! He does die for me! He does forgive me!
Lord, help me to regain this knowledge of You, and trust in Who You say You Are.
