"Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?"
John 14:5-9
The Lord manifests himself inside his children. We are created to be walking vessels of light - filled completely with the Spirit of God - used for his good works. Jesus is the word - given life. So are we, children of the most high - heirs in Christ Jesus - our righteous King. Through him we are made whole from the inside out.
Therefore, your heart and mind are renewed into his image - in his grace - for his purpose. You are different in Christ. Others see him in you - this is his purpose - too fill all of his children with his Spirit - such that Jesus lives whole in the Spirit in all of us - used for his good purpose.
The Holy Spirit speaks the voice of Jesus through you - from within. The Father spoke inside of Jesus and is inside of Jesus. God is a Spirit. Jesus is the Spirit incarnate. Jesus gave his perfect Spirit at the Cross opening the pathway for the Holy Spirit to dwell and live inside of all those who accept Jesus as Lord and are baptized in his name. You will be born again - from the inside. Given a new Spirit - a mighty counselor - a great helper to guide you and instruct you - from the inside - and he knows the end before the beginning.
