The Book of John reveals Jesus as both the Son and the Father. 

Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him. Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us. Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long a time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works. (John 14:6-10 KJ2000)

In this passage Jesus proclaims that if someone has seen him, then he has seen the Father.  We tend to take this idea lightly and continue to think of Jesus as only “the Son.”  Yet, John also says,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1-4 KJ2000)

This verse proclaims that Jesus created all things.  Created all things.  Made man in His image on the sixth day. Yes, it is Jesus who is our Creator.

When Israel fell from faith in God and worshipped gods who are not they began to offer their children to their false idols. When he rebuked them for this Jesus said, “They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind.” (Jeremiah 19:5 KJ2000)  Again, “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.” (Jeremiah 32:35 KJ2000)  (Note: Yes, Jesus is Jehovah of the Old Testament and it is Jesus who said these things.)

But we continue to think of Jesus as only the son and malign the Father by saying that he sent his son to earth to die for our sins. You fathers and mothers, would you send your son purposely to die for your other sons and daughters? Or, would you go yourself and willingly die for your children?

God never intended our sons to pay the price of our sins. He never wanted anyone to sacrifice his son for his benefit. But we, as a nation and a world, have sacrified our sons and daughters in wars for our empires and in abortions for our pleasure. A true Father would never do such a thing. A Father would die for his sons and his daughters.  And that’s what Jesus did. He died for his sons and his daughters, us. Jesus IS our Father in heaven.
