He purposefully revealed the Father to mankind, acted as His representative.
Heb 1:3 His Son is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of God's being. GWV
Heb 1:3 The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, NLT
Heb 1:3 He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being
Heb 1:3He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the [a]out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] AMP.

How are we supposed to be doing it?
How did Jesus reveal the Father to the people?
By intersecting peoples' lives with the goodness and power of God.

Acts 10:38 "[You know of] Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and [how] He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

Story of Zaccheus

Luke 19:1-10. 1 He entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.
3 Zaccheus was trying to see who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass through that way.
5 When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.
7 When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
8 Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."
9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.
10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
