“The acorn doesn”™t fall far from the tree” is a phrase which points to the similarities children have to their parents. This phrase could be used with a positive, negative or neutral meaning.

When Jesus says that knowing Him is to know His Father, that phrase becomes powerful and filled with the positive aspect of knowing Jesus and His Father.

(NASB) John 14:7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”

In another place Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.” (See John 10:30)

Jesus proclaimed that if the disciples knew Him then they also knew the Father. What a revelation!

Are you looking for God? Do you want to know Him? Then study Jesus!

As you read God”™s word ““ and when you read of Jesus”™ life, His work, words, His attitude and motives”¦He is revealing His Father. He is showingWho God IS!

Because Jesus declared that He had shown His Father to His disciples then, I can know that He has shown me the essence, the personality, the character of God the Father through His life as it is recorded in the Holy Bible.

It is hard to think about the impact and the importance of Jesus showing you and me God the Father. God is knowable and He has provided the way to know Him”¦through His word (the Holy Bible) and through the Word (Jesus Christ ““ See John 1:1).

Do you know about Jesus?

Or do you know Jesus on a personal level?

(NASB) Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
