Jesus Reveals the Person of God: Joh 14:7-10 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." Joh 14:8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Joh 14:9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

 Jesus Reveals the Nature of God: Joh 4:23-24  Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

 Jesus Reveals that He is doing the Works of God: Joh 10:37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. Joh 10:38  But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." 

 Jesus Reveals that No One Knows the Father: (No one has intimate knowledge of God) Mat 11:27 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

Jesus Reveals that the Authority of Times and Seasons Belong to God: Act 1:6-7  Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
