While sitting on my patio early this morning and listening to the beautiful sounds all around, I was drawn to a certain phrase in John 14 and took notice where Jesus was talking with the disciples who were questioning about finding the way to where He was going and wanting to know the Father when Jesus answered in v.6,7 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. IF you really know me, you will know my Father as well." And that leaves me with today's inspirational message.
Do we Really know Jesus and understand that He is one with the Father? Do we really believe there are three persons in one: Father, Son, Holy Spirit? Do we really believe that each of Them, all three of them, work together to fulfill God's perfect plan in our life? Do we really believe they will never work against the other, but Always work together in perfect unity to fulfill the Father's will and bring glory to the kingdom of God? The key is in the first part of v.7 ,"IF YOU REALLY KNOW ME" and these five Words are LIFE indeed.
Jesus' disciples had walked, talked, ate, slept, witnessed many miracles along side Jesus and heard Him teach, and yet they didn't understand what He was teaching about where He was going and knowing the Father. Jesus seemed a bit surprised by their questions and not knowing, but He explained that when they looked at Him, they saw His Father; that all they see in Him and the works they had witnessed through Him was of the Father in Him; one and both the same; then He went on a bit further in John's writings, chapters 14-17, to explain Holy Spirit in the same manner as explaining the Father; because He saw how difficult it was for His followers to understand the Trinity Godhead at that present time.
In this Present time, many have read and heard the Word and believed and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, and actually feel the very presence of Holy Spirit, alive and well deep within, but there are still some who Really don't understand, and continue to question the truth. That's where we can help as followers of Jesus. We can help guide them to His WORD and allow Holy Spirit to open their ears to His teaching so they can also come to Really know Him Who works within us, Who empowers and enable us to be more than conquerors in this present world. It's all about knowing in Whom we serve and Whose we are, that reassures us GOD IS GOD: FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT. The Trinity, all three in one.
If in doubt, I urge you to read Jesus teachings regarding this in John 14, 15, 16, 17 as He explains how important They are in our lives today. Take a little time and allow Holy Spirit to guide you through His life changing Word and I guarantee you will never be the same. If you feel you are unsure and might not REALLY know what is meant by the Trinity, I pray you will take this opportunity to call upon Him today and allow Him to teach you in all truth. He is an amazing teacher and always available to lead us in all our ways, if only we ask. God created YOU to be part of HIS Family, and is Lovingly waiting with arms open wide. He loves you like none other with a love far above humankind, that is totally unconditional. You will find that God is truly all you will ever need to make it in this world.
It is in Him that I live and move and have my being and seek to bring glory and honor to His Holy name in all I do, in all I say, and in all I ever hope to be. I in Him and He in me throughout all eternity. Be strong and in the power of HIS might! Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you, and so do I~~~
