Jesus Christ came to reveal the existence of His Father in heaven, a major task during His time on earth. From His earliest recorded words in Luke 2, He spoke of His Father and the business He was sent to do, though even His parents did not comprehend His meaning. This misunderstanding persisted throughout His life, as people often jumped to wrong conclusions based on their preconceptions when He spoke of His relationship with His Father. His mission included declaring the Father's existence and sovereignty, answering the question of who governed the universe while He was limited as a human. In John 1, the intimate relationship between Jesus and His Father is emphasized, showing that They have always been together from eternity past. Jesus, as the Word, is the Creator, and His words are vital and truthful, meant to be heeded. As the only begotten of the Father, He is a perfect representation, so much so that seeing Him is akin to seeing the Father. This close bond implies the Father's intimate involvement in Jesus' upbringing, not leaving His rearing to chance but guiding Him from the beginning. Throughout His ministry, as seen in John 8 and John 14, Jesus and His Father remained in constant communication, with the Father teaching Him directly. Their unity was so profound that Jesus could say He is in the Father and the Father in Him, a fellowship that sustained Him until the moment of separation on the cross, when He felt forsaken. This intimacy allowed Jesus to declare that He and His Father are one, a statement of complete unanimity in thought, word, and action, forming the basis of faith in His authority. In John 1:18, Jesus is described as being in the bosom of the Father, illustrating an inseparable, deep love and connection. His role was not merely to introduce the Father but to expound and explain Him through teachings and actions, unfolding a narrative of the Father's character. This declaration is vital, as John 17 emphasizes that knowing the Father and the Son is essential for eternal life. In John 12, Jesus states that whoever sees Him sees the One who sent Him, using a term that implies deep contemplation and spiritual growth. By studying and meditating on Him, one gains insight into the Father, growing in understanding of the divine nature and ultimately striving to live as God does. This path of seeing, believing, and living in the light leads to intimate fellowship with both the Father and the Son, mirroring the relationship They share, as reiterated in I John 1, where the goal is a deeper connection with both and with each other.

Jesus Christ stands as the unique Mediator between the Father, the Absolute Deity, and mankind, revealing the Father through His life and actions. There is nobody like Him in the entire universe, as He emptied Himself to take on the form of a slave, though He was of the God-kind. Christ Himself declared that He has a God, His Father, who is greater than He, both when He was in the flesh and after His resurrection as spirit, affirming the Father's supremacy as the Absolute Deity. The Father is the Source, and Christ is the means through whom the Father has revealed Himself. Though both are of the God-kind and worthy of worship, they are not equal in function or responsibility; the Father is the Head, and the Son is subordinate, always submissive to the Father's will. Christ directed worship to the Father, instructing us to pray to Him, though we may also pray to the Son. They are two distinct Personalities with clear differences in operation and rank. The Father appointed Christ as the Head of the church for its benefit, ensuring one Head to avoid chaos. Christ submitted to the Father's authority, carrying out His assignments, which included preaching the gospel, witnessing God's existence, being an example to His disciples, and dying for the sins of the world. The glory of the Son lies in His perfect obedience to the Father's will, not in being the Head, but in His submission to the Head. Christ, the only begotten Son, is infinitely suited to communicate the Father's nature to mankind. He is the perfect Complement of the Father, filling up and completing the revelation of the Absolute Deity, whom we cannot see or hear directly. The Father has determined to make Himself known through Christ, an Image, a Word, a Mediator, who fulfills these roles perfectly. Christ is not revealing Himself primarily but acts for the Father, distinguishing Himself by stating, "The Father is greater than I," and affirming that the Father sent Him. In saying, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father," He shows He is the perfect Complement, completing the picture the Father wishes to portray, yet remains a distinct Being from the Father.

Jesus Christ, as the Image of the invisible God, serves as the sole representation of the Father, the only true God. He alone is permitted to portray Him, reflecting His character, attitude, purpose, and virtues such as wisdom, mercy, and kindness. The Father is consistently shown as the Source of all things and the ultimate object toward which creation moves, while the Son, as the Channel, is the One through whom all is being worked out. Jesus reveals the Father to us, and to know Him, in His own words, is eternal life. He fulfilled His role by giving the disciples the words the Father provided, demonstrating that the Father is the Source of all. As the Word, or Expression, Jesus has always been the means by which the Father manifests Himself, not just during His earthly life but as a continuation of divine revelation. His actions, gestures, and examples broaden this revelation beyond mere words, directing all toward the Father. From the beginning, Jesus of Nazareth has been the express Image of God's revelation, pointing humanity toward the invisible and inaudible Father, serving as the Mediator between mankind and Absolute Deity throughout history.
