October 28 -- John 14: 8-14 "Philip said to him, 'Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.' Jesus said to him, 'Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? 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 authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. 'Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.'"
Prayer focus for today: Despite all the time the disciples had been with Jesus, they still couldn't fully grasp who He was ... and WHOSE He was. Scripture tells us, we are the same. No human can fully grasp all there is to know about the God who created us. Jesus knew this, and tried to present it simply, yet fully, to everyone He spoke to. Pray today that, no matter how long you have followed Jesus, that you will never grow tired of learning more. Pray for a heart to seek after Jesus -- pursue Him like a new love! Pray that you will grow each day with a new understanding of who God is and who He created you to be.
