John 14:7 Context
5Thomas saith vnto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how can we know the way? 6Iesus saith vnto him, I am the Way, the Trueth, and the Life: no man commeth vnto the Father but by mee. 7If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seene him. 8Philip sayth vnto him, Lord, shew vs the Father, and it sufficeth vs. 9Iesus saith vnto him, Haue I bin so long time with you, and yet hast thou not knowen me, Philip? he that hath seene me, hath seene the father, and how sayest thou then, Shew vs the father?

Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. The great truth declared is that the way to study God and know him is to know Christ. From henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. From the cross. On the next morning they would see Christ dying. From the sepulcher would burst forth upon their minds a new revelation of the character and mission of the Son.
