RELATIONSHIP WITH FATHER, SON,
AND HOLY SPIRIT
(PART TWO)
By Dwight Cunkle
"What good does it do to speak learnedly
about the Trinity if, lacking humility,
you displease the Trinity?"
T.A. Kempis
I in them and you in me. Then they'll be mature in this oneness, And give the godless world evidence [to believe] That you've sent me and loved them the same way you've loved me. I have made your very being known to them-Who you are and what you do-And continue to make it known, So that your love for me be in them Exactly as I am in them. (Jn 17:23, 26)
... Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly. "The Father has given me all these things to do and say. This is a unique Father-Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge. No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does. But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen. (Matthew 11:27 MSG)
Personalize these verses by speaking directly to the three Persons of the Holy Trinity:
[Holy Spirit, You…] will honor and glorify Jesus, because [You] will take of (receive, draw upon) what is (in Jesus) and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to (us). (Jn 16:14)
Jesus, It is You who show us the Father.
Holy Spirit and Jesus, help us to know Father God with You.
Father God... (that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give (us) a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of (our) hearts enlightened, that (we) may know what is the hope to which he has called (us), what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward (us) who believe, according to the working of his great might (Ephesians 1:17-19 ESV)
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, fullness of God that fills us in love, unifies us in love and through the church will fill the whole earth with your glory and goodness in love, we abide in holy fellowship and oneness with You. We enter into conversation with You. Open our ears to hear and respond.
