Good morning and be reconciled to God family
Absolutely. The central message can be built around John 10:30 — “I and My Father are one.” One important clarification: the biblical teaching of the Trinity is that God is one God in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—not three separate gods.
I AND MY FATHER WE ARE ONE PART (1)
Main Scripture: John 10:1–38
Key Scripture: John 10:30
By Apostle Seer WND Mpho Katengua
1. The Father and the Son — One in Divine Nature
Jesus did not say that He and the Father are the same Person. He said, “I and My Father are one.” Their unity is perfect in nature, purpose, authority and work.
John 1:1–3 — The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 — The Word became flesh.
John 10:30–38 — Jesus declares His unity with the Father.
John 14:9–11 — Jesus says that whoever has seen Him has seen the Father.
Colossians 1:15–17 — Christ is the image of the invisible God and all things were created through Him.
Colossians 2:9 — The fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Christ.
2. The Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit
The Bible reveals one God working through three distinct Persons:
God the Father — the source and loving Father.
God the Son, Jesus Christ — the Word who became flesh and our Savior.
God the Holy Spirit — God's Spirit who indwells, guides, teaches and empowers believers.
Matthew 28:19 brings the three together: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 13:14 also speaks of the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
So, we worship one God, while recognizing the distinct Persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE FATHER AND THE SON
Before the Son came into the world, there was already perfect fellowship between the Father and the Son.
Jesus prayed:
John 17:5 — He speaks of the glory He had with the Father before the world existed.
This teaches us that the relationship between the Father and the Son did not begin at Bethlehem. The Son existed with the Father before His earthly ministry.
Our lesson
A son should not only know what his father can give him. A son should desire fellowship with his father.
Jesus demonstrated this through prayer:
Mark 1:35 — Jesus withdrew to pray.
Luke 5:16 — Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
John 17:20–24 — Jesus prayed for His followers to share in divine fellowship.
4. THE WORSHIP AND HONOR OF THE SON
Jesus honored the Father completely.
John 5:19 — Jesus speaks of doing what He sees the Father doing.
John 6:38 — Jesus says He came not to do His own will, but the will of the Father who sent Him.
At the same time, Scripture teaches that the Son is worthy of divine honor.
John 5:23 — The Father desires that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
Philippians 2:9–11 — Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Therefore, the relationship between Father and Son teaches us both submission and honor.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
