“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” Jo14.23 NKJV
Jesus speaks so casually about His relationship with the Father. Why wouldn’t He, since He is the Father’s only begotten Son. We, of course, are the adopted children, invited to be apart of their eternal family so that we may share in the love that they have for each other. The Father and Son come to make their home in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. One brother put it this way, “The union between the Father and Son is such a live concrete thing that this union itself is also a Person.” That Person, the Holy Spirit is poured out into the hearts of all who trust the words of Christ. Incredibly, we now, with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we are caught up into the wonder of their love and into the fellowship of their purpose which is to glorify and enjoy God forever as members of the eternal family. It staggers the mind to consider this privilege. It captures the heart to realize that They have made us the overflow of Their love. 9/6/07 ts
