Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also.—John 14:9.

 

When we imitate Jesus’ qualities and ways of dealing with others—for example, his pity for a leper, his empathy for a woman with a grievous illness, his compassion for the bereaved—we are imitating Jehovah as well. (Mark 1:40, 41; 5:25-34;John 11:33-35) The more we become like Jehovah, the closer we draw to him. Following Jesus’ footsteps helps us not to be distracted by this wicked world. On the final night of his earthly life, Jesus was able to say: “I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33) He meant that he had refused to allow himself to be influenced by the thinking, the goals, and the actions of this world. Jesus never allowed himself to lose his focus on the reason he was sent to earth—to vindicate Jehovah. What about us? In this world, there are many things that could distract us. But if, like Jesus, we keep focused on doing Jehovah’s will, we too will “conquer” the world.—1 John 5:5. w21.04 3-4 ¶7-8

Revealed so clearly in his Word, leaves no doubt that he wants us to see Him, through his son. Not by force, by LOVE. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
