And then the Lord Jesus, in a muted rebuke, came back to Philip and he said, Have I been with you so long and yet you've not come to know me, Philip? Ah. He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, show us the Father? You're looking at God in the flesh. Now the principle is in verse 10. Do you not believe that I am in the Father? …

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Wait till you have a seat. As I mentioned at the beginning of Mass, this is the season of goodbyes. And it's so strange. I don't know if you think about it much, but like it seems, I don't know if it seems like this to you, but it seems like it was only the season of hellos not too long ago. That some of the people maybe you're sitting next to are people that not too long ago you had no idea who they were. And now here you are sitting next to these people. Maybe you actually just met them today, but that's fine. …

He says in verse 12, most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, the works that I do, he will do also and greater works than these he will do because I go to my father. I love that verse because Jesus is saying, I'm going away, but when I leave, I'm going to empower you to do greater works than I did. …
… And whither I go you know, and the way you know. But Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest. And he says, And how can we know the way? And Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also.
