To see me, but not me!

"To have seen me is to have seen the Father!"

Jesus is very confident of himself.  That to know him is actually to not know him, but the Father.  He knows that there is nothing in him that obstructs anyone looking at him from being able to see his Father.  He is so transparent that one interacting with him is actually interacting with the Father himself.  Nothing in him that limits the one interacting with him to see Jesus alone.  All of what he does and is, is a reflection of the Father.  

I wonder how many of us will be able to say that same of oneself.  In all honesty and sincerity.  "To have lived and worked with me is to have seen Jesus or God himself!"
