We all want to see God. The Father is seen in the Son. The Son is seen in us.

Christ commands the troubled to believe - Prophet. Christ secured our place with the Father - Priest. Christ will raise and receive His own - King.

The Shepherd and the sheep are one. God is glorified through missional advance. Our Shepherd is our faithful example.

This world is dead in sin. The Father gives life. The Father gives and the Son saves completely.
