To Know Jesus is to Know God
Commentators unanimously affirm that Jesus is the perfect revelation of God the Father. To truly know Jesus is to know the Father. Scholars like Spurgeon and Calvin highlight that Jesus is the 'express image' of God, in whom 'all the fullness of the Godhead' dwells. Therefore, looking at Jesus—His character, words, and actions—is how we see and understand God the Father.
