So What's A Father To Do???

        So what’s the FATHER to do?  His stated purpose in His Will is to “gather together IN ONE all things both in heaven and earth”.  But from our text (Exodus 33:20) that appears to be fatal!!  How then does He answer this longing, this prayer to see Him Face to face, (and not kill everyone who gazes upon His Perfection, His Glory)?

        John 1:14  “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father), full of Grace and Truth.”
Did you catch that?  The Most High God placed His Glory, His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, in human flesh.  And as impossible as it is for the unaided human mind to understand that mystery, John proclaims that they beheld, looked upon that Glory, and wonder of wonders, lived to tell about it.  In fact, he was one of the twelve witnesses to that Glory in human flesh.  Just in case you think that was a typo---
        1 John 1:1-3   “That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled; for the Life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show it unto you that Eternal Life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.

        And lest we mistake the Brightness of this Glory of God come in human flesh, and think it is some dim reflection, consider this:
        Hebrews 1:1-3  He has spoken to us by His Son, “Who being the Brightness of His Glory, and the express Image of His Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His Power, when He Had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the Right Hand of the Majesty on High.”

        I said previously that it was impossible for the unaided human mind to understand this mystery, but consider this Divine Aid.
        2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, Who Commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined IN our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.”
       John 14:9  Jesus words to Philip, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?  He that has seen Me Has seen the Father; and how do you say then, ‘show us the Father.’”

How long have you “been with Jesus”?  Have you seen the Father?  Have you beheld His Glory in His Beloved Son??  Vs 11a, “Believe Me that I Am in the Father, and the Father in Me.”  Have you lived to tell about it??
