Jesus only!

JESUS is the fulfillment of the Law and the prophets. Phillip was quick to realize this shortly after he met Jesus*. Jesus IS the very implication, connotation, emphasis and essence of all God has been saying, revealing and teaching about Himself since the beginning of time, and for all generations to come.

It pleased the Father that in Christ should all fullness of God dwell*. And indeed, in Christ dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead BODILY*. That emphasis dispels any doubt about the matter with the hard, physical evidence and presence of Jesus on earth, so that even Thomas who wanted such evidence would be without excuse.

Jesus is the EXPRESS image of the personality of God* and the brightness of God's glory and the image of the invisible God*.

And He is the image to which God would have us conform*. He is compared to the bronze serpent that was set up in the Israelites camp that whosoever looked upon it would not die of the bite of the deadly snakes sent as judgement upon them for their rebellion*. And like the Israelites, we too must look only to Jesus if we must live!

We do not need to be mystified and clueless anymore about the personality of God - what pleases, saddens, interests, excites, annoys Him. Or what He expects of, and desires in us. 

Although He is infinte and cannot be comprehended with our finite minds, we have eternity to revel in discovering Him starting now, by the example of Jesus' life, the witness of God's Spirit in us as well as the testimonies of a long ancestry of saints before us, to help us along the way.

Now, knowing God becomes a pleasurable experience, irrespective of the circumstances of our training.

Jesus IS the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man can come to God except through Him. He went on to say, If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

I would dare to say that God has literally demystified Himself in the personality of Jesus. So why is God still a stranger to you? Why do you run helter-skelter looking for Him in many other places and people when He has given Jesus?
