Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
The works that were accomplished by Jesus verified the divine source of His words. The words spoken by Jesus verified the divine source of His works.
So it must be with me. My words must be consistent with my works; my works must be consistent with my words. My life, in words and work, must glorify the LORD, God, the Almighty.
