Is that enough?

Jesus was talking to his disciples just before his arrest and he said, "No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

In one of Jack Frost's DVDs (Experiencing the Father's embrace) he comments on this statement of Philip, "that will be enough." Jack says, 'Wasn't it enough for him to see Jesus raise the dead, and heal the lepers...?'
But I like Philips request. "Show us the Father..." How often do we ask this of Jesus? For Jesus came for that very reason, to make a way back home to the Father, and to reveal him to us. There is a real sense in which every time we look at Jesus we 'see the Father' as they are one... but there is another dimension, when the Father himself, as a tender daddy, is revealed to our inner heart, where we need his comfort, his tender words, his assurances. This is a spiritual/emotional revelation -more than an 'understanding' of the mind.

But I am also intrigued with Philips statement 'that will be enough for us.' What is 'enough' for us? Do we settle for so little and say 'that is enough?' I regularly listen to believers talk and pray who seem to have settled for just 'getting along' -
for the occasional answer to prayer, for a life of struggle, but not victory, for a dreariness, not delight, for none of the miracles, but mostly just grace to get through. We don't seem to ask for much, we settle for a '1st gear' Christianity, and seem to ignore much of the Scriptural promises of his comfort and his enabling. Why? Have we been disappointed, and no longer trust? Are we in fact 'unbelieving believers'? Or have we been taught to settle for this low level faith? I remember a long time ago hearing from my father that he had arthritis in his hand and could not write me a letter so he dictated it to his secretary. I replied - did he ask for prayer from others about this hand? He replied to me, "God has more important things to deal with than my hand." Huh? If he knows the number of hairs on our head, and the fall of every sparrow....??? Go figure!

What is 'enough' for you? How about asking for a hunger and thirst for more? More revelation, more encountering, more enabling through the Spirit.
