MAKING OUR HOME IN HIS LOVE
Jesus has a HEART
Full of love for us=
So does his HOLY FATHER
Today he tells us
To REMAIN in his love=
We should MAKE OUR HOME
In the love of God
And Jesus
“As the Father LOVES ME=so
I also LOVE you=
REMAIN in my love” John 15;9
Some of the translations
Instead of remain=
Use the word ABIDE
If we are ABIDING=
We are not just sitting their passively=
We are MAKING OUR HOME
In that place=
We need to REMAIN
In God's love
“If you REMAIN in me
And my words
REMAIN in you
Ask whatever you wish
And it will-
Be done for you” John 15:7
“Let no debt REMAIN outstanding-
Except the continuing debt
To love one another
For whoever loves others-
Has fulfilled the law” Romans 13:8
And Jesus IS the one
He was/he is
The FULFILLMENT of the law=
MAKING OUR HOME=
IN HIS LOVE!
And what would it look like
To make my home
IN THE LOVE of Jesus?
Instead of an abstract location=
The love of Jesus would be/IS
A place of refuge-
A place of welcoming-
A place of REST
And refreshment for us
The HOME of Jesus
In our heart=has many
Of its own UNIQUE furnishings
And décor
Making our HOME-
IN HIS LOVE
“The Lord's curse
Is on the house
Of the wicked
But he blesses
The HOME of the righteous” Proverbs 3:33
“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
Yes=the love of the FATHER
And the love of Jesus
Make their HOMES IN US
They are expressed in
So many VARIED WAYS=
According to the gifts
And background=of every disciple
God loves us=and PREPARES each
And every one of us=in our own unique ways
To BEAR FRUIT
Dear Lord=we pray=
Help us=make our HOMES
IN YOU TODAY
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING FATHER!
