Jesus has
just promised to return for His own and take them to the place He is preparing
for them. (John 14) Now He makes
another wonderful promise that reveals more...
Besides the Father and the Son, there is ‘the Spirit of truth’ who has been with them, who will be sent to comfort them... by being ‘in you’!
Besides the Father and the Son, there is ‘the Spirit of truth’ who has been with them, who will be sent to comfort them... by being ‘in you’!
Notice he says:
“I
will pray the Father” - using the word erotao meaning ‘interrogate as an equal’.
Okay soon
the world will no longer see Jesus after his death but for those who believe on
Him it’s: ‘ye see me’... like He never really left, in fact... “Ye
in Me, and I in you” and even more than that!...“we
will come unto him and make our abode with him.”
The more He says the better it gets!
Next we learn how practical
it will be... “the Holy Ghost... shall teach you all things and bring to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” – the inspiration and
authority for the New Testament. WOW!
Outside
there is hatred and trouble looms but right now, inside this exclusive retreat,
we have double hope, so much love and comfort, absolute truth, promise of life,
reassuring peace and joy, even glory and delegated power but... it’s time to go so Jesus calls them to their
feet.
What a
staggering revelation! Just as He gives them a glimpse of who He really is,
it’s time to face betrayal and death!
Can we begin
to grasp who Jesus is?...
‘for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily’
How can we possibly get our heads around this ‘Godhead’ in a
Man born to die for us?
