Dear Mike: Would you possibly consider that it could be you who needs to "dig deeper?" Unless you think Jesus needs to "dig deeper" also:
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
1Jo 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
Etc., etc.
God be with you,
Ray
