John 1:14 – The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Matthew 6:10 – Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Jesus, in obedience to the Father and by His own full will stepped down from His throne beside the Father. The Father’s will was His will. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit live in perfect unity. There never has been and there never will be any disunity between the different persons of God. All fully God and all fully one with not an iota of difference. Jesus was not surprised by the Father’s will that He should step down from the His heavenly throne to come to rescue us. No, He already knew it. Nobody can fully know, or describe that God is One who is three and is three who is one. What we must know is their unity. We must not attempt to understand them in way we understand each other. Instead Brothers and Sisters, we should strive to understand each other in light of who our Triune God is.
Jesus told Philip that Father and He are one and there is no degree of separation between them (John 14:8-10). He was then saying that they are so much One that if one has seen Jesus, one has seen the Father. In this oneness, Jesus includes the Holy Spirit. In John 14:16-20 Jesus includes the Holy Spirit in the oneness of God. When the Holy Spirit is within us, so is Jesus. Since Jesus is within us and He is one with the Father and with the Holy Spirit than all are with us. One that cannot be separated.
Again, notice the singular will of God. In John 14:16-17 Jesus states that He will ask the Father and the Father will give us the Holy Spirit. It is not a contradiction or mistake when Jesus then states in John 15:26 that He is the one who will sent the Spirit to us. Furthermore, as Jesus was not unaware of the will of the Father that He should become man to die for our sins, so the Holy Spirit was not unaware that He would be sent to live within us to teach us and to guide us about God.
When praying for the Apostles, and also for us (John 17:20), Jesus said to the Father that all He has is the Father’s and all the Father has also belongs to Jesus (John 17:10). That is so because the three persons of God are one in every way and yet also three. We understand the Trinity more by accepting what the Word gives to us than by trying to reason it out with our own limited ability to comprehend and know. Let the Spirit and the Word saturate us and understanding begins to follow. Resisting the flow of the Spirit and Word through us limits the saturation and the understanding that the Holy Spirit brings us of the Word.
The ability for us be one with each other, us loving each other and being of one will to serve the will of God, is possible only as we become one with God. We don’t become one with God by our own efforts, but by the work of Jesus. Jesus prays that we would become one in love and purpose just as God is. Jesus is not calling us to give up our individuality, but to know more who we individually are as we are united to each other in the love of God and our love for God and by His love for us.
Praise our Triune God! Praise God who truly has made us in His image. We need to understand this in the spiritual. Being like our righteous and loving God is so much more than our outward acts, but has to do with essence and spirit and oneness with God. When we are one with God who is one with all of us than we are also one with one another. God has always been so good to us. Before the beginning of time God was good to us and He loved us. That truth remains beyond time into a never ending eternity. God is good and He loves us and that remains forever. Praise God who desires us to be one with each other by being one with Him through Jesus the only Messiah and Lord! Praise God!
