“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” Many think, from this statement, that Jesus was claiming to be God, but such was not the case. God is the invisible Life Essence of all that is, the Intelligent Energy running through all. This life we feel but do not see. We see only what it does, never the thing itself.n6614 ¶1
Life manifests itself through the individual. Therefore, when one manifests goodness and purity he is revealing the Father. This is what Jesus meant when he said, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”n6614 ¶2
He said that his words were the words of God. As all forms of energy return again into their source, so the word of truth is the word of God, no matter who speaks it, or when it is spoken. Man reveals, but does not absorb the Divine Nature.n6614 ¶3
“Fe that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.” It could not be otherwise. The nature of reality was not exhausted in the man Jesus but made manifest through his life and works. We are to do likewise and what we ask in the name, which is our own name, believing in the Father which is God, and in the Son, which is ourselves, we shall receive. In this way the Father is glorified in the Son.n6614 ¶4
