What is the greatest revelation given to mankind?
Jesus expressed this revelation in John chapter 14:
5 Thomas said to him, “Master, we don’t know where You’re going, so how could we know the way there?”
6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me. To know Me is to know My Father too.
7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”
Jesus’ first mission was to show us Our Heavenly Father, Who He is, and what His Divine Intent is.
8 Philip spoke up, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be all that we need!”
9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time and you still don’t know who I am? How could you ask Me to show you the Father, for anyone who has looked at me has seen the Father.
Jesus reiterates this revelation to Philip but He knows Philip still needs a greater understanding of what Jesus just revealed.
10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in Me and that I am living in the Father? Even My Words are not My own but come from My Father, for HE lives in Me and performs His miracles of power through Me.
11 Believe that I live as One with My Father and that My Father lives as One with Me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.
Jesus provided Philip with infallible proof of Who He is. That same proof is still applicable today.
12 “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!
Are you willing to believe this timeless Truth?
13 For I will do whatever you ask Me to do when you ask Me in My Name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to Him. 14 Ask Me anything in My Name, and I will do it for you!”
Jesus second mission was to show us, US! We are not meant to live a mediocre life but instead to rise up and embrace these Words spoken by Jesus Who only spoke Words given to Him by Our Heavenly Father.
Jesus came to us as GOD IN THE FLESH so that our image of Our Heavenly Father could be corrected. GOD is Love and all the acts of Jesus pointed to this Truth.
As mature Sons and Daughters, we are to reveal this same Image to the world. We are to operate with mighty miracles following us. We will take no credit for those miracles because we will give all the glory to Our Heavenly Father and Jesus.
The miracles provide the credibility of The Gospel then and it should be no different now.
Christian churches without miracles are simply promoting religion, no different that that of the Pharisees. That may sound harsh but it is time to expose the reality.
As one man said, “No miracles, no Jesus!”
