Christ is the exact visible manifestation of the Father. Moses wanted to see the Father face to face and was told that no man could see him and live Every person who saw God saw Christ manifested from Adam on wards. Only Christ has seen the Father.
John 14:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Father Revealed
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
