John 14:8

John 14:8 says, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.  When we come to Jesus, we don't need any other proof that He is Who He says He is but His word.  We don't need to ask Him to show us anything else.  We simply have to accept Jesus by faith.  Verse nine adds, Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.  And how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father.  Jesus had been telling them this over and over, but they didn't understand.  We look back and wonder at their disbelief, but we are told over and over to put our total trust and obedience in God, and we ask for proof we can believe Him.  Then, if things don't go the way we want them to, we doubt God instead of doubting our faith.  Verse ten continues, Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?  The words I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doth the works.  Jesus was telling them again that the Father and He are One.  When we see the works of the Holy Spirit today, they are the works of the One and Only God.  We may not understand the Trinity, but we can never start believing in three separate gods, because if we do, we do not believe in the One God.  I wonder if God ever looks at us, those that are His followers or even those that profess to be His followers and says that He has been with us so long so how can we not understand Who He is.  If we continually question God or attempt to get Him to do things our way, I am sure He does.  The longer we are His followers, the less we should question His will for our life.
