What does the Bible say about jesus points to god the father?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that Jesus reveals and brings sinners to God the Father, calling us to know, trust, worship, and pray to Him through Christ. In John 14:6-7, Jesus declares that He is the only way to the Father and that to know Him is to know the Father. He teaches His disciples to pray, “Our Father,” seeking God’s name, kingdom, will, daily provision, forgiveness, and protection in Matthew 6:9-13. Jesus also directs devotion away from human praise and toward the Father who sees in secret, as Matthew 6:1-4 shows. Because Christ is unchanging, as Hebrews 13:8 affirms, He remains the faithful Mediator who leads His people to the Father.
