'Last Sermon of Jesus'
John
14:19-20 "A little while longer
and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you
will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you
in Me, and I in you."
Just after this last sermon, our Lord Jesus was arrested and then crucified. On the third day our Lord rose from the dead and lives, so that we (after our old men or flesh have been crucified) will also live in His new resurrected and abundant life.
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is
no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for
me.
After His death, the world can no longer see Him anymore. But after His resurrection, He appeared to His disciples many times to encourage and strengthen their faith in Him. He also told them that on a particular day they will understand and know His teaching: "I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you."
Luke
24:45-49 And He opened their
understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them,
"Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer
and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And
you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon
you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on
high."
So before His ascension, He taught them to enlighten their understanding of the everlasting gospel and to wait for the Promised of the Father - the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Luke
24:51-52 Now it came to pass, while
He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And
they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
On the day of His Ascension, when His disciples saw Him being lifted up to heaven, they knew that Jesus is the Father Himself (I am in the Father). Then, they also believed in the Promised of the Father and soon, they were baptized with the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem.
Acts 1:4-5 And being assembled together with them, He
commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the
Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John
truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not
many days from now."
They knew that at the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit must first come to dwell in their physical bodies (Me in you). Then, the Holy Spirit will completely immersed their spirit in His Spirit (you in Me) just like in the baptism with water when their physical bodies were completely immersed in water.
Hallelujah,
these prophecies were fulfilled after His crucifixion and on the day of
Ascension this was fulfilled- 'At that day you will know that I am in My
Father, and you in Me, and I in you'.
When Christ is in us (Me in you), it is the hope of glory. When we are in Christ (you in Me), He is literally carrying us by taking over all our problems, sorrows, sicknesses, regrets, worries, and sufferings and replacing them with His love, peace, joy, assurances, and faith. Only then we can confess that we are truly living in His abundant life.
Brethren, the bible is truly the word of God and is written by the Holy Spirit. It is filled with truth. Read it for your guidance and blessings. Amen.
