For
in Jesus,
my love for you is revealed.
John
17:26
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.
(NIV Bible)
Jesus
came to reveal His Father to us. His desire was that the
love the Father had for him would be in us too. His passion
was that we would know and experience his Father's heart
just as he had known and experienced this amazing love
from the very beginning. What a privilege to be caught
up in this incredible love affair within the Godhead!
This
gift of relationship with God far exceeds anything that
we could ever do to possibly deserve such an honor, but
it is offered to us free of charge through Jesus. What
an awesome Savior we have, that he would be willing to
leave the intimacy and glory of his Father's presence,
to make the Father known to us. Through the cross, Jesus
has made the way for us to be joint-heirs with him as
sons and daughters to his Father.
We
all have an invitation, one child at a time, to come to
the Father through Jesus Christ and to be partakers of
His incredible love. Jesus has come to make his Father
known to us, and he promises to continue to make his Father
known in order that his Father's love might be in us and
that he too might live in us.
PRAYER
Father, I thank You for sending Your only Son Jesus to
reveal Your amazing love for me. I am overwhelmed at the
truth that I can share in the same relationship with you
that Jesus has had with you from the very beginning. By
faith I receive your love through the life of my Savior
and Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank You for being my Dad. In
the name of Your beloved Son Jesus I pray, AMEN.
