When You’ve Seen the Son
Philip’s request is sincere, but it reveals a common spiritual blindness—we often long for more, even when God has already revealed Himself. Like Philip, we might feel that seeing some external glory would finally secure our faith. But what we need isn’t more signs—it’s deeper sight. Jesus, standing right in front of Philip, was the full revelation of the Father.
Jesus: The Mirror of God
We live in a world that demands visibility. We crave something tangible—proof we can see, hear, and touch.
Even as believers, we sometimes echo Philip’s plea in John 14:8:
“Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
But Jesus’ reply is both tender and astonishing:
“Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
That one sentence reshapes everything.
