Bible Commentary

John 12:45

Jesus is the perfect image of the invisible God. To look at Jesus — His love, His truth, His holiness — is to see what God is truly like. Jesus is the face of God.

Memory phrase: Jesus shows us the Father.

Talk about it: What do you learn about God by looking at Jesus?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, show me God the Father through You.
