3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
If we want to know what God the Father is like, all we have to do is look at Jesus Christ, for He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being. In John chapter 14 Jesus declared, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father”. His only interest was to do His Father’s will and to say what His Father asked Him to say.
When Jesus healed the sick, He was demonstrating His Father’s desire for us to be whole. When Jesus fed the poor, it was His Father’s hand of provision that reached out to the hungry. When Jesus forgave the prostitute, it was His Father’s heart that was moved with compassion. When Jesus picked up the little children in His arms to bless them, it was the love of His Father embracing these little ones.
When Jesus walked this earth, there were many people who had a distorted image of the true nature of God. It is no different today than it was two thousand years ago. Many still suffer from false beliefs about God’s character. Jesus came to dispel those false beliefs and truly reveal His Father’s heart. If you really want to know what your Heavenly Father is really like, just look into the eyes of Jesus and let His love melt away all your misconceptions.
