John14:7
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him .
If ye had known me as you ought to have known me, as I am indeed the eternal Son of God, sent by my Father into the World, you should have known my Father, with whom I am equal, and one and the same God, so as in knowing one of us, you must have known both: but you stick in my outward form and appearance, while I appear to you in the form of a Man; and you stick in your prejudices suckt in from the Notion you have of the Messiah, expecting I know not what Temporal Prince: These things blind you as to my Divine Nature (personally united to my Humane Nature); that you see nothing of my Godhead, which if you had clearly known and believed, you would not have been at a loss to know the Father, the brightness of whose glory, and the express Image of whose person I am, tho my glory be vailed by my Humane Nature.
And if you will yet believe what I say, from henceforth, you do know the Father, and you have seen the Father so oft as you have seen me.
