Jesus Is Magnified To The World Through Us

“Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” John 14 8:9

Jesus answered Phillip’s question by saying that if you have seen Him, then you have seen the Father. Now how awesome would it be to have someone ask us to show them Jesus, and our answer be, if you have seen us, then you have seen Jesus. To think this way is not wrong, and according to the Truth it should be our earnest desire. If we are crucified with Christ, if we are new creatures in Christ, if we are members of His body, and if we are now one with Him, all of which are Truths that we have studied in the Word, then when people see us, they see the One Who we are one with. If God inspired all of these scriptures, and He is not a man that He should lie, then why can’t we say the exact same thing that Jesus said, because according to the Word of God it is actually the case? Think about it, being ashamed in nothing, having no fault, perfectly and completely united with Jesus. That should be our hope and our desire. There are no scriptures that tell us that it cannot be. The power of the Holy Spirit within us strengthens us to abound in the hope of who we are in Christ, so that Christ may be magnified through us! Think about a magnifying glass, people don’t look at the instrument; they look at what the instrument is enlarging! This is the same Truth for us, people see Jesus magnified through us. They no longer just read about Him, they can see Him! And when people see the Truth they are set free. The dead are raised, the lame walk, the blind see, the unsaved are born again, there is forgiveness, and faith, hope, and love abound! Through Christ and our oneness with Him, we are now as Jesus is, even while we are this earth!
