*THE REPLICA OF THE GODHEAD*

_(Jesus Is The Express Image Of The Father)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*John 14:8-9*
_“Philip said to Him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father”?”_ 

*LET’S TALK*

The Bible says that in Jesus dwells the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form, meaning anyone who wants to know what God looks like should look at Jesus. No wonder He said to Philip, *“he who has seen Me has seen the Father.”* Jesus is the express image of the Father’s Person; He is the effulgence of His glory. The Bible says it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19).

No wonder He said in John 10:30, *”I and My Father are one.”* When He said this, the Jews picked up stones and wanted to stone Him. Why? They said, *”...for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”* The Jews understood the import of what Jesus meant when he said, *“I and My Father are one,”* but they considered His words blasphemous because they didn’t know who Jesus was. Jesus is one with the Father; He is the complete embodiment of Deity.

So, if you’ve ever wondered whether God is distant or difficult, study Jesus. Watch how He treated people. Study the Word. When you see Jesus, you won’t need to look for the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the perfect image and replica of the Godhead. He’s the expression of God’s glory, and by inheritance, not only has He obtained a more excellent name in all of heaven and earth, but the Father has crowned Him with all glory, honour and majesty. He’s the Monarch of the universe, and He’s also your best friend. He’s the express image of the Father’s person.

*GO DEEPER*

*Hebrews 1:1-3* God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, *2* Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; *3* Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

*PRAY*

_Dear Lord Jesus, I ascribe to you all glory, honour and majesty. You’re the King of glory, the joy of heaven, and the bright morning star! You’re the effulgence of God’s glory, the beauty of divinity, and the perfect expression of the Father’s person. I worship and adore you, precious saviour, for there’s none like you! May your kingdom reign in the earth and be established forever in the hearts of all men. Amen._

*DAILY BIBLE READING*

*ONE YEAR*
Romans 2, Psalms 38-41

*TWO YEAR*
Luke 11:27-36, Judges 1

*ACT*
Study one story about Jesus today in the Book of Mark and note how He revealed the Father’s heart. Let that example guide one attitude or action of yours.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
