John 17 - Love In Them (#7)
He wants us to know the love that is in the heart of the Trinity for one another. Imagine how strong the love of the Father is for the Son. Imagine the love of the Son of God for the Father. God wants us to have that kind of love. He wants us to know it deep in our souls.
I Hear the Voice of My Beloved!
Listen quietly; I hear the voice of my Beloved! He speaks to me! Fair weather is smiling upon the face of the earth, and He would not have me spiritually asleep while nature is all around me awaking from her winter’s rest. He bids me, “Rise up,” and well He may, for I have long enough been lying among the dens of worldliness. He calls me, “Come away.” The sweet sound is melodious and inviting, so what is there to hold me in this wilderness of vanity and sin?
Searching for Treasures in the Body of Christ
Are you stuck in “ordinary church life” participating in a church service-based existence? Does the modern way of doing church leave you wanting something more?
Do you say to yourself, “Where is the love? Where is the community?”
Or maybe you are someone who knows in their heart they are supposed to be interacting more with the Body of Christ, but you don’t have any motivation to really get to know people or serve them the way Jesus talked about?
There is something more.
There are treasures in the body of Christ, but we have to pursue them…and when we find them in each other, we will find the fullness of Christ!
