The Reason Jesus Could Say, “Trust In Me”

“Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father–that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.  9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?”  (Jn.14:8-9, Amp) The reason Jesus could say, “You trust in God so you can trust in me” (14:1)–the reason He could say “If you have seen me then you have seen the Father” is because He had never misrepresented the Father in any way. That speaks of integrity, reliability and credibility and that will be displayed in one’s character and character is displayed in actions.
