"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." Is not this an invitation to think of him as their idea of God? Else why the connection? "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
Of course, no mere man who ever lived could have spoken these words acceptably; we receive them as we do because we know that Jesus spoke them—he who was one with the Fathter as body and soul an one.
How beautifully this is shown in this:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
As no man can approach another's soul except through his body,—that is, through his outward expression in time and space,—so can no one approach the Divine soul—the Father—except through the outward expression of it in Jesus. As we know one another only through these outward expressions of our interior selves, so we can know the Father—the unseen, invisible
