John 14:19–21: “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
John 14:20 centers especially on the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost and the oneness of the believers with their Lord. Jesus returned to heaven as the exalted Head of the church; then He sent the Spirit so that the members of the body would be joined to their Head in a living union. Believers today, of course, did not see Jesus after His resurrection or in His ascension, but we are united to Him by the indwelling Holy Spirit. 1
Your Word is Truth
We would be so helpless without the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is God’s helper and comforter for all His believing children. How has God been helping and comforting you? Will you thank Him now for all that He has done? Will you believe Him now for all that He wants to do in your life?
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. –Romans 8:1
You Alone are God
The Spirit of God takes the Word of God to reveal the love of God. – TWEET IT
Your Will be Done
Lord, thank You for teaching me about love and faithfulness.
