To hold God's hand

"Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves Him who is begotten of Him." -1 John 5:1

To know Christ is to know God. Since the earliest days of the Faith there has been an insidious deception that one can know God without Christ - that a relationship with Christ is not necessary for one to know God. The truth is that Christ himself declared, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me."* In the same breath even one of Christ's beloved disciples says, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." Jesus responds, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not know Me?...He who has seen Me has seen the Father..."** Still, there are those who presume to question God's sovereign design for salvation while grasping vainly for the Father's hand. It cannot be. Is there any greater way to insult our creator? The evidence of our love for the Father is born out in our love for His Son - Jesus.
