Title: To Know the Father
Author: Marvin Patterson
Text: John 14:7-18
There was a young couple who had just purchased brand new appliances for their house, and they decided to give their old refrigerator to their parents. Since they lived many miles apart, they just shipped the refrigerator to their parents. A few days later the phone rang, her mother said, "Honey, we want to send you a check for the refrigerator." The daughter said, "No, Mom, it's a gift. We want you to have it."
The mother said, "But you could have sold it and made money." The daughter said, "Look, Mom, just consider it as repayment for all those days that you took care of me when I was at home." After a slight pause her mother said, "In that case the refrigerator doesn't cover it."

Now we continue to see this interaction between the disciples and Jesus on how a person can go to heaven!
Body:

They were presently trusting the God of the Old Testament, and now it was time to trust the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ! From here on out, you will know the Father and the Son!
14:7-11 from now on you know Him. They know God because they had come to know Christ in His ministry and soon in His death and resurrection. To know Him is to know God. This constant emphasis on Jesus as God incarnate is unmistakably clear in this gospel (Macarthur)
