Was Philip asking for a personal visit?
Philip’s response indicates that he still doesn’t know who Jesus is.
It also reveals a fundamental human longing to see God.
I am not sure that Philip meant for this to be a teaching point for us but obviously the Holy Spirit guided these words to be in our Bible.
We long to have more knowledge of God and we try to gain more understanding.
Philip wanted what Moses desired and received:
What comes to your mind as you hear the question, “Don’t you know me?”
Philip was called to serve Jesus.
This verse tells us that Jesus found Philip.
Philip knew Him as the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote.
Warren Wiersbe states that John uses the word “know” 141 times in his gospel.
There are 4 different levels of knowing:
Knowing a fact.
Knowing enough to understand the truth behind a fact.
Introduces a relationship - to believe in a person and become related to him or her.
Developing a deeper relationship and developing a richer communion.
Jesus wanted His disciples to understand that to know Him was to know the Father.
I appreciated Philip’s desire to know the Father.
What a lesson for us to have the desire to know the Father more and more.
The Father dwells within Him.
The Lord dwelled within the temple of Jesus.
The fulness of God dwells in Jesus.
The words and works are the Father in Him.
The disciples can believe that the Father and the Son are one because of His character; because of His words (7:16; 12:49-50; 14:24); and because of His works (5:36; 10:38).
Faith does not exist without obedience.
Faith and love prompt the true disciple.
When Jesus goes to the Father, His disciples are to carry on in His Name.
Luke 10:
Do we pray in the Name of Jesus for what Jesus’ pleas are and for the glory of God, or do we pray in our own plans or our own wishes?
Often in our prayers, we may be guilty of seeking our own interests and for what will improve our own situations.
We must discover the will of God and align our prayers to fulfill His purposes.
When that happens, our prayers become as powerful as those of Jesus.
Praying in the Name of Jesus associates our request and prayer to the very character of Jesus.
It is saying this prayer is in continuation with the work of Christ.
Why do we pray in the Name of Jesus?
Christ is ready to answer the prayers of the His people.
