HE CAME TO FULFILL - COMMISSIONING AND MINISTRY: IT IS I

Messiah will make God known among the whole world. He will reveal to the whole world who He is and what He is like. Yeshua came to do that. He came to reveal the face of God. All who saw Him have seen the Father as mentioned in John 14: 8-10 (NIV). Yeshua confirmed that He and the Father are one (ehad) as He said in Isaiah 52: 6, "Behold it is I".

Yeshua revealed to us God’s character of love, mercy, and compassion. All so we would know how much Yahweh loves us.

No one can see God with their natural eyes or without a mediator, for one who would do so would perish. So Yeshua came as our Mediator. He had seen God face to face. He knew how the Father looked and so came to testify of His countenance and character. “You will know them by their fruits” says Matthew 7: 16a (NKJV). By doing the deeds He saw the Father do and manifesting good fruit, He showed us who God was and how He felt towards us. By believing in Him, we get to see God too. (1)

Let us seek to see and reveal our Father’s image daily. The more our Image of God aligns with His actual Image, through our actions, the more in likeness to Him we ourselves become.
