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 KJV
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. — John 14:23 NIV
Thought and Reflection
The chapter starts with Jesus saying that he’s returning to heaven to make an area for us. But, now Jesus is urging us to realize that we don’t need to wait until the end of time to enjoy the presence of God.
If we worship God and follow his commands, God comes and makes his home with us. Isn’t that an incredible and uplifting thought? God is the Maker of the Universe, the Holy One of Israel is in me.
My Prayer
O God, I praise and thank You for Your presence in my life. I pray that my life reflects the purity and the grace of Your presence in everything I do, whether in word or in deed. In Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.
