These religious Jews thought they knew the Father. They claimed to serve God. But their rejection of the Son spoke more loudly than all their supposedly devout words and religious practices could. We cannot know the Father unless we know the Son. No man comes to the Father except through the Son. Jesus was not *A* way to reach the Father, but *THE* way. We cannot know God unless we know Jesus. But when we know God because we’ve confessed Jesus as Lord, we are eternally secure. Amen!
