“Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” John 14:23 (ESV)
We again look at some of the words Jesus shared with His disciples at the last Passover supper He had with them before He was crucified by the Romans. Jesus knew that his time with them on Earth was soon coming to an end. He knew what he was facing in terms of his death. He also knew what was coming after that time of intense suffering. Jesus is encouraging His followers then, and us now, to show our love for him by keeping His word. God promises that He loves us unconditionally and He wants to be a close part of our lives. He has promised that we can experience the joy of having Jesus and our heavenly Father living with us as a part of our lives today and every day. Jesus continues to want to make His home with those who love Him and believe in Him so friends, let's show our Lord that we do love Him today by obeying what He has taught us and let's live as He wants us to live, appreciating His presence in our lives each day.
