"At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." (John 14:20)
Too many songs today fight this reality, and do not even know it. "We come into Your Presence," implies we were somewhere God is not. "Welcome, Holy Spirit," implies he has not been "here," and must be invited. Or, "get into His Presence," means we were/are not. Or, I hope I don't offend someone, but here is another: "God showed up." Where did He come from?
Jesus tells us clearly, "....I am IN My Father, and you IN Me, and I IN you." More than likely you are not at this moment in some sort of Church gathering. You are, in this very moment, however, according to our King and Savior Jesus Christ, now and ever shall be, "....in Me, and I in you," PERIOD.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You that the Cross, Your shed Blood, Death, and Resurrection made this all possible. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
