“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

John 17:25, 26

Knowledge and love, tied forever.  A fixed truth – Jesus makes us known to his Father, a marvelous revelation.  What a privilege, to be known by both Father and Son and surely, by the Holy Spirit.  Following Jesus is learning to walk in the light, in truth, reality and in faith. 

The result of this union we have with them is that we (can it be?) may be the dwelling place for God!  After two millennia it is as true as when Jesus spoke intimately with his disciples on the night before he was crucified.  God with us, with me!  Can a human being express a higher truth?

The disciples were discussing who is the most important among them.  Jesus urged them to think ahead, to think the humanly unthinkable, that they are in God and He is in them, a truth that is believed by faith alone.

We need not get tied up with lesser interests, the heart of Salvation is Jesus making a way to be in us and we in Him.  May that be the center of our interest and faith!
