45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
In this verse we have a confirmation of the second argument, that beleevers in Christ beleeve on the Father also; shewing, that Christ being one, not in person, but in essence, with the Father, none can see him spiritually and by faith, but they must see the Father also, not only with him, but in him, and one with him, as being the brightnesse of his glory, and expresse image of his person, Heb. 1.3. Col. 1.15. Whence learn, 1. True faith is accompanied with knowledge, and faith must contemplate Christ, to feed on his fulness, and six its eye on him for help and relief, as of old they did on the brazen serpent; for, he that beleeveth on me, ver. 44. is expounded to be, he that seeth me. 2. Such as get an eye of faith to see Christ, will see him true God and one with the Father; for, be that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. Unto a beleever and a discerning eye, the glory of his divinity will thine through his greatest abasement, as Matth. 16.16. and 27.54. 3. The Father is not to be seen but in the Son, nor can beleevers know what he is, but by seeing what the Son is, and what they see the Son to be, that the Father is in him; for, he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
