Seeing the Father - Wed Night Class
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began with Clint Davison introducing the foundational statement from John 14:9, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father," and connected it to the doctrine that Jesus perfectly reflects God's nature. He referenced Colossians 1:15 to reinforce that Christ is the exact image of God, and used Luke 19:10, Philippians 1:23, and Philippians 2:5 to illustrate that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is not merely heaven or evangelism, but becoming Christ‑like in attitude and conduct. Clint then examined the practical outworking of this truth by highlighting Jesus’ foot‑washing in John 13:14‑15 and the call to suffer as an example in 1 Peter 2:21. He encouraged the class to study the four Gospels as a unified portrait of Jesus’ character, urging believers to imitate Him just as children imitate loving parents. The session closed with a prayer for upcoming teen camp, travel safety, and a deeper commitment to embodying Christ’s humility and service, trusting that these pursuits will naturally lead to soul‑winning, fellowship, and the promise of eternal life.
