The Gospel of John 8:19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.” (John 8:19 KJV)

The Lord Jesus was the sole perfect being in human form that set foot on this planet AFTER Adam's fall. He was in the flesh yet lived perfectly in spirit, in truth, and fully submitted to the will of God. He came as our perfect kinsman redeemer (Galatians 4:4-7), duly qualified from heaven. He laid aside His glory (Philippians 2:7) so we the fallen human race may all be restored into glory (Hebrews 2:10) that we were, as Adam was, BEFORE the fall (Genesis 1:27).

If only those religious Jews truly reflected upon the holy and written Words of God to uncover the truth, instead of cheery-picking on it to make doctrines of religion, they and those who perpetuated it in this present age would have recognized who the Lord Jesus is. In human form, He was God incarnate (1 Timothy 3:16).

Those who have seen Him, have seen the Father (John 14:7). Unfortunately, the religious Jews, most specially the Pharisees, the Priests and the Sadducees were all blinded by the precepts of men they chose to observe rather than God's Words. They would have known the Son of God in their midst. That's how we must know Him, by faith, totally dependent on His gift of grace. He must not be just relegated as a religious figure, like many are doing who perpetuate the religious Jews that crucified the Lord. We must stick to the Scriptures that declare: “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. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:15-17 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!
