In the Arms of the FatherExemplo

Jesus came to reveal the Father

In general, Christians and unbelievers have good feelings towards Jesus. He was gentle, humble, compassionate, blessed the poor, the weak, etc...

Yet when it comes to God the Father, Christians often ignore, fear, or are angry with him.

It is possible to live an unconscious inner struggle between wanting to get closer to Jesus while remaining at a distance from the Father. This blocks us spiritually. Indeed, Jesus is one with the Father and to push against one is to push the other away.

Jesus is not only the way to be saved, but he is also the one who reveals the Father. Like many Christians today, Philip, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, did not understand that Jesus was the perfect image of the Father.

If Philip and the other eleven disciples had difficulty understanding that Jesus had come to reveal the Father, it is possible that we also do not understand everything and that we need a greater and truer revelation of who the Father is.

This is the prayer that I propose to make during the next few days :
Lord Jesus, show me the Father.

Reveal the Father to my spirit so that I may know him as he truly is. Show me the lies that I have believed that keep me from running into his loving arms.
