Absorbing God’s Word
“Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?” John 14:9
Applying God’s Word
When Philip said to Jesus, “Show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus replied, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”
Philip had the benefit of, at least, seeing God in person. I plan to see God in person also, but for now I am satisfied with the way God has manifest Himself to me through others.
I have a friend who is an atheist. One day he asked me if I believed in God because of all the stories in the Bible. I told him that was part of it, but not the most important part. He asked, “What’s the most important part?” I said, “Experiencing God personally.” There were no more questions after that.
Accounting of God’s Word
Have I experienced God personally? Am I willing to share it?
