If You Knew Me, You Would Know My Father
John 8:19
“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.” (John 8:19)
In context, Jesus is having a conversation with the Pharisees in the temple. He declares that He is the light of the world, a claim to be the Messiah. Jesus affirms that His testimony is valid because it comes not only from Himself but also from the Father who sent Him.
In response, the Pharisees challenge Him, asking, “Where is your Father?” Jesus rebukes them for their spiritual blindness, pointing out that they do not know God because they do not recognize Him in Him. This verse teaches us that if you want to know God the Father, look to Jesus.~ Jeff M Newman

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
