When God Says …
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.” (John 6:45-46 KJV)
Knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ is the person of grace and truth (John 1:17), by His Words, another truth is revealed. Invoking the writings of the prophets, He said: if truly anyone studies and follows them, they will learn of the truths from the Father. They will learn of and from Him! God is their teacher (Isaiah 54:13). And, they will receive His Words and will certainly recognize Him - the Lord Jesus Christ. They'll come to Him, believe and receive His Lordship in their life. That's the organic flow of those who truly seek God through the truth of His Words, they'll see the truth and recognize who truly is the Lord Jesus Christ.
No human flesh has seen the Father in a visible form. Only the Lord Jesus Christ who is from above. He has the authority to reveal the truth that came from the Father. Yes, we can learn from and of the Father when we truly listen and learn from Him through the Scriptures and by His still whispers (1 King 19:12) in our spirit. And He will send us to come to Christ Jesus for our redemption. There is a connection between the inward attraction from the Father and the external hearing of His Son in whom He shows Himself. It is God who takes the initiative by drawing us to Himself. The power to respond by conscious decision is vested in us.
As we come to Jesus we see God! It is written: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:15-16 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
