John 14: 7–14
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and
the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you
know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have
seen him." Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will
be satisfied." Jesus said to him, Have I been with you all this time,
Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
How can you say, "Show us the Father"? Do you not
believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say
to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his
works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you
do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell
you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact,
will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do
whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If
in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it. "
Reflection
Have I ever failed to understand Jesus?
Am I open to all the channels, such as
friends, strangers and even the voice of conscience, to listen to the gentle
voice of God speaking to us?
