Journey - April 15th, 21

Some have left the community. They've abandoned the message and the man, they once embraced. they have  returned to what they once had. And whatever it was that turned them away, it appears there was a failure to see the relationship that Jesus has with his Father, and the Spirit. On a fundamental level, there is a failure to see that God is not alone. God is not a solitary, impersonal impenetrable force. No, God is in relationship with himself. Three in One, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the God who is in relationship has invited you and all of humanity, to be included into the Triune life of God. God has reconciled humanity to himself in order to draw us into this relationship of Father, Son, and Spirit. Jesus has shown us who God is. He shown us the face of God.

To acknowledge Jesus is also to acknowledge the Father and the Spirit. It's to know the very nature and character of God. And you've been included into this life. JOHN says here that you've been drawn into fellowship with the God of relationship. And that relationship means that you have the right to enjoy life, life in God, eternal life. He says this in verse 25, "and in this fellowship, we enjoy the eternal life You promised us." So may God help us to see and to know Him who is not alone. The three in one, to see in Jesus the Father, in the anointing of the Spirit, and to enjoy our life in him. Because YOU are not alone. You are in God and God is in you. Wonderful

You are loved!
