John 1:18
No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
Pastor Jon Courson wrote:
"The Greek word translated 'declared' is exe-geomar, from which we get our word 'exegesis,' meaning 'to expound.'
Jesus expounded on the Father because Jesus had seen the Father. We are to expound on Jesus because we have seen Jesus.
Therefore, the key to all of Bible interpretation, the key to hermeneutics is really 'Himaneutics.'" (If you are familiar with Pastor Jon, you know he is the king of pastor dad-jokes)
He continues:
"Whether you're teaching a Sunday-school class, preaching to thousands, or serving on the mission field, expound upon Jesus.
Look for Him in every passage and on every page of Scripture. Focus on Jesus and you'll behold the Father as well."
It seemed fitting to end this episode with the song, “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us," which was written by Stuart Townend.
