John 14:7 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 14:7

Knowing the Son reveals the Father. Jesus speaks first to disciples who have encountered him, not as a claim that children understand God perfectly.

Memory phrase: Jesus reveals Father

Talk about it: What does Jesus help the disciples know about the Father?

Prayer: Jesus, help me listen carefully to your words.
