MATT Good Morning! I’m Matt Farmer, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church in Meridian. Most people have an opinion as to who God is and how He acts in this world. Historically, many people have distorted who he is and have used His name as license for doing terrible things that have tarnished the image of God and the reputation of His followers. Because of this and a lack of understanding of God’s word, many today do not have a clear understanding of who God really is. In John 14, Jesus made it clear as to how we should discern the true image of God. Throughout John’s Gospel, Jesus identified himself with the Father, and he is a perfect reflection of God because He was fully God in human form. Jesus’ words and actions are perfectly unified and together they define the very nature of God. Jesus is our true, exclusive window into God’s heart. As you seek to know God, look towards His son Jesus. His life and actions show us who God is as well as how much the Father loves each and every one of us!
