Continuing in John 9, we see that the Father was constantly at work in the Son, Jesus. Jesus had told Philip in answer to his question concerning seeing the Father that He had already seen Him in the person of Christ. this message takes a deeper look at the question and uses Old testament Theophanies (OT Appearances of the Father), and Christophanies (OT pre-incarnate appearances of Christ), to illustrate how God had revealed Himself to humanity. God still reveals Himself today in order to break us away from ourselves into full dependence upon Him that we may be a useful vessel for His work and glory.
