Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
One of the most profound truths Jesus ever declared was that He is one with the Father. This was not merely a statement of agreement or shared purpose, but a revelation of His divine nature. Jesus perfectly reflected the Father’s heart, character, and will. Everything He said, every miracle He performed, every act of compassion He showed, and ultimately His sacrifice on the cross, revealed exactly what God is like.
When Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus replied, “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). What a comfort this is! We do not have to wonder whether God is loving, merciful, or trustworthy -we simply look at Jesus. In Him we see God’s compassion for the broken, His patience with the weak, His holiness toward sin, and His unfailing love for humanity.
Because Jesus is one with the Father, we can confidently place our faith in Him. His promises carry the authority of God Himself, and His invitation to follow Him leads us into a relationship with the Father.
How precious it is to read and meditate on Christ in the Gospels. As we know Him more deeply, we will also know the Father more fully, and our trust in God will grow stronger each day.
With love & blessings, Sandra
