Significant Verse: 14:21-23
What does the verse say? Jesus said those who obey his commandments are those who love him, and because of their love, the Father and the Son will love them, and Jesus will reveal himself to them. Judas thought this revealing would be just for the 12 disciples, but Jesus asserted that the Father and the Son would come and live with all who obey.
What is God saying to me? What a profound and astonishing promise. If I obey the Lord's commandments, the Father and the Son will reveal themselves to me. Intimacy with God and experiencing the Spirit of God come as I show my love through obeying his commandments. Lord, I want to experience your presence and power and peace and love. Lord, show me if I am not obeying you in any way. I will love you by obeying you. Thank you for promising to live with me. The thought of that truth overwhelms me.
