(3) God has revealed Himself fully to us _in Jesus Christ_. He had given glimpses of Himself to seers and prophets before. But God was greater and better than the best word even Isaiah had said about Him. And at last, when the fulness of time was come, God told the final truth about Himself by sending Jesus Christ into the world. He is the effulgence of His glory and the express image of His person. There are likenesses between human beings. We talk about “family likenesses.” There are striking resemblances between father and son, mother and daughter, brother and sister. But with the resemblances there are also differences. You can always distinguish between one and another. But between God and Jesus Christ the likeness is absolute. There are no differences. Jesus is the Word of God. He is what God is, expressed in terms of human thought and speech. God has kept nothing back from us. He has reserved no secret. You may enter into the holiest place by the blood of Jesus. What is God’s name? God’s name is Jesus Christ. In Jesus you get the full and final revelation of God’s character. God could not fully reveal Himself through nature. He could not have been pictured for us in a book. It was only in a _life_ that God could fully reveal Himself, and that full revelation He gave in the life of His Son. When Philip said to Jesus, “Shew us the Father,” Jesus answered, “I and my Father are one. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” Jesus was God’s answer to the cry of man—“Tell me, I pray Thee, Thy name.” It is by looking at Jesus, then, that we discover the character of God. And if you ask me, after studying Christ’s life, what I find God’s character to be and what His best name is, I answer that His nature is love, and that the best name that describes Him is the name “Father.” When, then, Jesus tells us to pray, “Hallowed be Thy name,” He is telling us to honour God’s character as revealed in Himself. He is telling us to honour God as Father both in thought and life.
