JUNE 26
WE WILL COME UNTO HIM

Scripture:  John 14:16, 18, 23 “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.”

    In this passage, Jesus is about to go away.  He is giving His disciples some last minute instructions before He is crucified.  He begins the chapter by telling them “let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me”.  In these three verses today, Jesus is telling the disciples that He is not going to leave them comfortless.  First of all in verse 16 He promises that the “Comforter” or the Holy Spirit would abide with them.  Then in verse 18, Jesus tells them that He will come Himself to them.  And also in verse 23, He gives them a promise that not only will He come, but the Father will come to bring comfort to the believer. We see here in these verses that Jesus promises that the Godhead will come and make His abode with us.  The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all will dwell on the inside of the one that loves Him and will abide there forever. 
   The presence of Jesus is a living, eternal presence. He died, but He did not stay dead. He arose and conquered death. He arose to live forever. Now think: if Jesus Christ is living forever and He dwells within the believer, then the believer lives eternally.   When Jesus arose from the dead, believers knew something. His claim was true in an absolute sense. Jesus really was "in" God. God is eternal, so by being "in" God, Jesus was bound to live forever; He was bound to arise from the dead.
     Something else was known. All that Jesus had said was true. He was placing all believers "in" Himself and Himself "in" them; or to say it another way, when the Holy Spirit came, believers were placed "in" His Spirit and His Spirit "in" them. (Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible – Commentary).
