Why Jesus Is Not Enough (In a Manner of Speaking)
Believing in Jesus is not enough. We must have the Holy Spirit.
If we can learn to take Jesus love personally, not only will we be able to respond to rejection with love, we will be empowered to love preemptively.
We become the friends of Jesus to find ourselves no longer his servants but the empowered servants of others.
“On Earth as it is in Heaven,” must mean only one thing: the love enjoyed between the trinity manifesting itself through the interrelationships of human persons.
When our symbols come to represent our systems and structures instead of the signs for which they stand, it’s only a matter of time before the signs disappear.
The Holy Spirit mediates the presence of Jesus on earth as it is in heaven; the Holy Spirit mediates the presence of Jesus’ disciples in heaven as it is on earth.
