[Islander]

It may be useful to consider that our expressions of the nature of God and Christ are but mere approximations of their reality. Language and insight have always been limited when it comes to articulating about divinity. We tend to discuss what seems more relevant, important and meaningful to us but it does not mean that other aspects of divinity and our relationship to it are less relevant.

It is interesting that in most direct reference to The Father in the NT, more specifically in Revelation, The Father does not move or speak. He is sitting on the throne but does not articulate.

Of God the Father we have but passing references, glances and a view that is oblique and at times out of reach. Not that it is so but that's how we experience it given the limited references. Jesus is much more real to us. He is unquestionably more tangible and close because of His role in salvation and the Atonement. Jesus is our foothold on the ladder to exaltation, as we can almost "see Him" on the dusty roads of the Holy Land follwed by the Apostles. We can also feel His embrace and comforting hand around our shoulders as we struggle with issues of mortality and obedience to His commandments.

It is not a rejection of the omnipresence of God the Father or lack of awareness of His transcendental nature. For most Latter-day Saints The Savior is "more real," closer, available, reachable and present in the scriptures and in our lives.
