Knowing the Father, Asking in His Name - John 14:7-14 Part 2

“Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?... Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.’” — John 14:9,13

Devotional Reflection

• Seeing the Father through the Son: Jesus makes clear that He is the full revelation of God. To know Him is to know the Father.

• Greater Works: Not greater in quality, but in extent—the gospel going global after His resurrection.

• Asking in His Name: Not a blank check, but alignment with His character, will, and mission.

Living It Today

• How does seeing Jesus reshape how you view God the Father?

• Do I pray in His name with confidence, or with hesitation?

• Am I asking for things that glorify the Father, or only to satisfy myself?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see the Father in You. Teach me to pray in Your name—not for my glory, but for Yours. May my prayers and my life reflect Your heart. Amen.
