The Daily Word of Righteousness
Three Works of Grace, #19
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (John 14:19)
We are entering a period of incredible spiritual darkness, an age of moral horrors. In order to survive we must be able to "see" the Lord, so to speak, and to walk in heavenly places with Him. We shall witness much bloodshed, perhaps the torture and death of our loved ones, and so we must become citizens of two worlds—the physical and the spiritual. Then we will not fear torture or death.
The saints who have gone before us have left bloody footprints in the snow. We are no more favored of God than they that we should be surrounded with every physical comfort and protected against all pain.
When the Lord comes to us in the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles we shall become more aware of the fact that the Lord Jesus is dwelling in His Father and we are living in Christ and Christ is living in us. In particular, the Father will become much more real to us.
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (John 14:20)
If we would enter the feast of Tabernacles we must obey the words of the Lord and His Apostles.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:21)
Our love for Jesus is vastly more than an emotion. Our love for Him is the keeping of His commandments. When we are not keeping His commandments we are proving that we do not love Him, no matter what we are claiming with our mouth.
It is not a case of going to Heaven by imputed (ascribed) righteousness but of entering the Father and the Son so the Son is revealed to us. It is the indwelling of the Godhead that will keep us safe in the arms of Jesus throughout the great tribulation.
The tares will come to maturity in the nations of the earth. The wicked will not be able to perceive that God has entered His people.
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (John 14:22)
The Lord Jesus then expressly states the climax of the spiritual fulfillment of the Old Testament feast of Tabernacles.
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. (John 14:23)
Although the Godhead is One, there never is any confusion concerning the Persons thereof. The Father is the Father. The Son is the Son. The Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit. We are baptized in water into the name of each of these Persons.
To be continued.
