In Jesus we see a perfect relationship between Father and Son. They are very loving, giving and kind.
Today I want to encourage everyone to look to Jesus to see how Jesus interacted with His loving Father. And how They: Father God, Jesus our Lord and Savior and The Holy Spirit work together and planned for us to interact with them through Jesus our Savior.
Part Three – The God-Head Glorious
What did Jesus reveal to us – about His relationship with His Holy Eternal Father?
John’s Gospel Chapter 14:1-7
v. 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
v. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
v. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
v. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
v. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
v. 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
v. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Jesus’s whole existence in heaven and on the earth was and is a focused purpose. That purpose is doing the direct will of His Eternal Father in Heaven and doing so in unison with God The Father and The Holy Spirit.
Purpose creates: focus, determination and perseverance.
I. The Purpose
What was the purpose of Jesus? Why did He come to earth?
A. His purpose was His charge from His Father to reveal The Father’s His plan as it is written in heaven.
v 1 Let not your heart be troubled: if you believe in God, believe also in me.
Jesus was declaring I Am The One True Son of God. If You believe in God Believe in Me for when you see Me you see The Father who sent Me. Everything you see in Me and the things I do are from God The Father who sent Me to you.
B. Jesus is The Prefect reflection and mirrored image of our Holy Father.
The Love, the mercy, the kindness, smart whit and anger, we see in the actions and speech of Jesus are His Fathers. Every attribute, every fruit, every gift that is mentioned in the promises of God are yes and amen through each person of The Trinity. Because God Is Immutable, His Son IS Immutable in His perfect representation of His Holy loving Father. You can-not separate God from who He is or the fullness of who He IS, as represented for us in and through The Holy Spirit.
The God Head Glorious IS for ever eternal.
II. Let’s look at what Jesus focused His proclamations on. The things He spoke to all who would listen and believe about. His primary focus is His Father. And His Holy Father IS A BIG God and His Father who is our Father has a big plan for us.
A. Our God is A Big GOD and IS The Holy Trinity
Let’s focus on what God has called us, His children, to receive. In His plan, for His creation, there is an eternal reality for all who would believe in the fullness of who He IS. And the fullness of who HE IS, is, manifest in each person of The Holy Eternal Trinity.
B. What God Has for us is His proclamation to us and to our children and to the world.
v 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jesus is proclaiming: To all who would believe there is a place made for us by The Light of the world, The Light of Creation that exceeds anything we can possible think or imagine. This reality concerns God’s House which is heaven.
C. Who did Jesus say IS the owner of the house? Jesus just proclaimed and glorified who The Owner of The House IS, His Holy Father.
Question: If Jesus, who IS The Word of God made flesh, The Light of the world and The Light of Creation, keeps referring to His Father as the owner of Heaven do you think The Father Is His own Eternal person, and that Jesus IS His own eternal person as God’s Eternal Son? Didn’t He just say “believe in God, believe also in me”. Why did Jesus say this if it wasn’t true? So If Jesus keeps saying this why do some people think God doesn’t exist beyond Jesus?
While talking to His disciples Jesus had a reason to re-focus’s His disciples concerning His eternal purposes.
III. Jesus reveals to His disciples and to us the focus of Heaven’s Eternal Plan and the reality that is to come.
v 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
A. What was Jesus revealing? His death, His Resurrection, His Ascension and His Triumphant return.
B. So when Jesus told us He had to go back to His Father’s House, to Heaven, and prepare what God had planned for all who believe, when did He ever say The Father would cease to exist? On The contrary, Jesus is re-affirming what He proclaimed to Thomas: v 6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man can enter the presence of The Father, unless it’s through Me.
C. Jesus is determined that His disciples everywhere in the world understand what He is revealing to them. At this point of His teaching He was testing the disciples just as He did the social elite. He was testing their spiritual awareness and their ability to perceive God with understanding. Peter at one point got it right when he proclaimed “you are the Christ” but then Jesus rebuked Peter when he stated “may it never be Lord”, concerning Jesus dying on the cross. It was hard for him and the disciples to grasp that Jesus had to die. Jews were taught Messiah would come in victory, destroy their enemies and reign forever, not die. Why would Messiah have to die, how can God die?
So when Jesus said this:
v 4 And where I Am going you know, and you know the way, but they were a bit confused.
v 5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we don’t know where you’re going; so how can we know the way?
At least Thomas had the guts to speak up. Lord, I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re telling me, please help me out.
IV. Jesus persevered to help them and us understand Heaven’s plan from The Eternal Father.
Remember when I said: I Love My Father and My Father Loves Me.
Because The Father loves The Son, and The Son loves His Father and loves us, isn’t it The Eternal Father’s love in His Son that is the love that binds us to His truth?
6 Jesus, focus and determined persevered and said:
A. I Am The Way,
I Am the door,
I Am The Sacrifice –
I Am The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
And If I Am raised up I will draw all men unto Me.
B. I Am The Truth, for I Am the word of God made flesh and that which I Am is Eternal
C. I Am The Life, I Am The Light of Life that is The Light of Creation from the foundation of all things in existence.
D. Therefore: no man come to The Father unless it’s through a personal relationship with Me.
Jesus is proclaiming with NO uncertain terms the way to Heaven and The Way to eternity and His Holy Eternal Father who He Loves.
Why would Jesus, who is Truth, The Word of God made flesh say this if God The Father was not eternal?
His admonishment to all is this: v. 7 If you know me, you should know my Father also: from this point through eternity you can know Him, and you can see Him, because you have seen Me. I Am My Fathers perfect reflection for His will IS done in and through Me and through The Holy Spirit.
A re-proof and a rebuke: To the Jews and all the so called social and religious elite of both past and present I have this word from The Lord for you:
Just as the Pharisees and Sadducee’s were stopping the poor, the hurting people who needed God from receiving His blessings in the past, the same wicked spirit is revealed today in the so called social and religious elite today.
In The past they were charging people, making people pay for the blessings that were already theirs from Father God. Jesus purged the Temple using a whip.
In society toady and sin many churches this same evil spirit exists.
Today there are churches, pastors and leaders who are telling people:
I don’t execute the promises of My word.
That the moves done by Holy Spirit in the past are nor longer manifested today.
When and where did I, The Word of Life, ever say this?
Also, in the past and now the present, people of all means went along to get along. Pressured by religious people to denounce My Blessings of healing, deliverance and prosperity concerning all things from My river of delights.
As in the past people today are being put out of the temple, My house of worship, by the so called social and religious elite. Telling them the prophetic revelations given by Isaiah and my others servants are no longer for today. And the things which I stated are no longer done due to their personal experiences because they lack the faith to believe.
Today my people are being ostracized for believing and hoping in everything that is Me.
Who do you people think you are to declare what I will do or not do? Are you My God?
Know This: I AM Eternal. I AM Never Changing!
My Father’s Temple is and always will be a place of worship and prayer for all to find Him through Me.
For I Am The Way,
I Am The Truth,
and I AM The Life,
I AM The Door unto My Father,
And In Me Is EVERY BLESSING AND EVERY PROMISE THAT IS ETERNAL FROM MY FATHER, HIS SON AND THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I AM The Author and The Finisher Of Your Faith –
Abide in Me and Walk In obedience To Me for part from Me you can do nothing.
