Read John 14:8-17
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us
the Father; that is all we need.”
9 Jesus answered, “For a long time I
have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has
seen the Father. Why, then, do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do
you not believe, Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The
words that I have spoken to you,” Jesus said to his disciples, “do not come from
me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work. 11Believe me
when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. If not, believe
because of the things I do. 12I am telling you the truth: those who
believe in me will do what I do—yes, they will do even greater things, because
I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask for in my
name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. 14If
you ask mef for anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, you will obey my
commandments. 16I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Helper, who will stay with you for ever. 17He is the Spirit who
reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot
see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and isg
in you.
Think
Jesus reminds his disciples that the Spirit 'remains with you and is in
you.'
Imagine Jesus saying that to you:
"...he remains with you and is in you."
Pray
Lord help me to believe that you are in me and with me in the person of
the Holy Spirit. Let me be guided by
your Spirit today.
