The Daily Word of Righteousness
At That Day
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (John 14:20)
That day is the Day of the Lord. The Lord alone shall be exalted "in that day," Isaiah says.
What day is that? When shall we know that Jesus is in His Father and we are in Him, and He is in us? When shall He alone be exalted?
The answer begins in the second verse of the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of John. "In my Father's house are many rooms." The Father's House is Christ Himself. He is the chief Cornerstone and we are the living stones in the House of God.
The Lord went to the cross and then to the Father in Heaven in order to prepare a place for us in Himself, in the Father's House.
After we are saved through the redeeming blood of Christ and filled with God's Spirit, Christ comes to us and receive us to Himself. Christ wants us to be with Him where He is, that is, in the Father.
Christ is the way, the truth, and the life of the Father.
Jesus tells us that He is the House of the Father:
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. (John 14:10,11)
Then the Lord tells us He will not leave us as orphans. He will come to us. From the context we suggest that Christ is not speaking of His return in the clouds of glory but of His coming to the Spirit-filled Christian in order to make him or her the dwelling place of God.
The world will not see Christ until He returns. But the Spirit-filled Christian will see Him and know He is in His Father and we are in Him and He in us.
Christ has promised to reveal Himself to the person who has His commandments and keeps them.
There are Christian doctrines today that tell us we are saved by grace and therefore do not have to keep Christ's commandments. They are dead wrong. Until we keep Christ's commandments He will not reveal Himself to us.
If we truly love Jesus we will keep His words. Then the Father will love us and He and Christ will come to us and make Their abode with us.
At that day we shall know Christ's position in God and our position in God. The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. Is the Lord alone exalted in your life?
If you are in Pentecost the trumpet is sounding. It's time to move on!
