Seeing Jesus 看见耶稣

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9
At four months old, Leo had never seen his parents. He’d been born with a rare condition that left his vision blurred. For him, it was like living in dense fog. But then eye doctors fit him with a special set of glasses.
Leo’s father posted the video of Mom placing the new glasses over his eyes for the first time. We watch as Leo’s eyes slowly focus. A smile spreads wide across his face as he truly sees his mom for the first time. Priceless. In that moment, little Leo could see clearly.
John reports a conversation Jesus had with His disciples. Philip asked Him, “Show us the Father” (John 14:8). Even after all this time together, Jesus’ disciples couldn’t recognize who was right in front of them. He replied, “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?” (v. 10). Earlier Jesus had said, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (v. 6). This is the sixth of Jesus’ seven “I am” statements. He’s telling us to look through these “I am” lenses and see who He truly is—God Himself.
We’re a lot like the disciples. In difficult times, we struggle and develop blurred vision. We fail to focus on what God has done and can do. When little Leo put on the special glasses, he could see his parents clearly. Perhaps we need to put on our God-glasses so we can clearly see who Jesus really is.

What are some ways in which your vision of Jesus may have become cloudy? How can you look to Him again with clear vision?
Jesus, please help me turn my eyes on You. Show me clearly Your path for me.
人看见了我，就是看见了父。—约翰福音14章9节
里欧在四个月大的时候，仍然无法清楚看见父母的模样。他生来就患有罕见疾病，导致视力模糊。对他来说，就像活在浓雾中一般。不过，后来眼科医师为他配了一副特制的眼镜。
里欧的爸爸发布了一段影片，记录里欧的妈妈第一次为里欧戴上新眼镜时的情景。我们看到里欧的眼睛慢慢聚焦，当他第一次清楚看见妈妈的模样时，脸上绽放出灿烂的笑容。在那宝贵的一刻，里欧可以清清楚楚地看见了！
使徒约翰记述一段耶稣与门徒的对话。腓力请求耶稣说：“将父显给我们看”（约翰福音14章8节）。虽然门徒与耶稣相处了一段时间，但他们还是不认识这位耶稣到底是谁。耶稣答道：“我在父里面，父在我里面，你不信吗？”（10节）在说这些话之前，耶稣说：“我就是道路、真理、生命”（6节），这是耶稣七个“我是”宣告中的第六个。祂要我们透过这些“我是”的镜片看见祂真实的身份──祂就是上帝。
其实我们很像当时的门徒。在艰难的时刻，我们苦苦挣扎，以致视力模糊，看不见上帝已成就、能成就的事。当里欧戴上特制的眼镜后，就能清楚看见他的父母，或许我们也需要戴上属天的眼镜，才能清楚看见耶稣的真实身份。

你对耶稣的哪些看法，
可能已经变得模糊了呢？
你要如何再次对祂有清晰的认识？
耶稣，请帮助我将眼目转向祢，
求祢让我能清楚看见祢为我预备的道路
