Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary John 14:11

"Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works` sake." — John 14:11 (ASV)

Furthermore, if a personality must be employed to represent God, that personality cannot be less than God and do him justice, nor can it be so far above humanity that it cannot communicate God perfectly to humans. The way Jesus made known the character and reality of the Father was by his words and works. The truth of God filled Jesus’ words; the power of God produced his works.
