No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him\u00bb\u00a0(John, 1:17-18).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe law can never save people because the law only reveals the sinful nature of man. The law was given in order for people to realize their need for God and His help. It was Jesus who brought to us the truth and the grace that conveys spiritual power necessary to live in accordance with God\u2019s will. Anyone who will accept this truth and grace will have the power to live a holy life and become an instrument in God\u2019s hand that is able to manifest or declare God\u2019s truth and grace to other people.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00abIn Him was life, and\u00a0<u>the life was the light of men<\/u>. (..) That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world\u00bb\u00a0(John, 1:4, 9).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJesus became God\u2019s personification (incarnation) in flesh in order to enlighten every man who comes into this world. Nobody has ever seen God, but Jesus came into the world to reveal God to people. The life of Jesus in the flesh is the light that helps people to see God. People looked at the life of Jesus and saw God because Jesus revealed God and manifested His nature through His life. Jesus has now passed this same mission to us His disciples. The life of Jesus in us must become the light for other people.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00ab\u00a0Jesus said to him, \u201eI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.\u201d Philip said to Him, \u201eLord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201eHave I been with you so long, and yet you have no known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, \u2018Show us the Father\u2019? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves\u00a0\u00bb (John, 14:6-11).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJesus said that He is the way to the Father. All of those that saw and heard Jesus or saw His works also saw the Father since Jesus manifested the Father in everything He did. That was why Jesus came to this earth \u2013 to show people who God is and the way to Him.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen people see our lives they either are drawn closer to God whom we represent or our lives repel them from Him. We must do everything we can to manifest God through what we do and say. We do not need to impress people, but we must reveal God\u2019s nature through our lives. Jesus said:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works\u00a0\u00bb (John, 14:10).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPeople are listening to our words on daily basis. If we speak the words of God, we\u2019ll be revealing God to others. Our words are a reflection of what we are carrying inside of us. Our words and deeds are the channel or venue through which we manifest God in our lives on the earth. Since life lived in the flesh is not capable of revealing or manifesting God; only life lived in the Spirit is able to do this. We must therefore so immerse ourselves into God such that He could manifest Himself through us. Not every church-goer is able to reveal God through his or her life, but only the Son Who is in God\u2019s bosom can do that.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo Jesus came into this world to show God to people, but now this mission has been passed to us \u2013 His disciples:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world\u00bb (John, 17:18).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you consider yourself to be a disciple of Jesus, then it is God\u2019s commandment for you \u2013 to reveal God and His unlimited love to other people.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMay God abundantly bless every one of you on this wonderful day!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bible says: \u00abFor the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
