Do you recall hearing about Jesus seeking a deeper, more intimate relationship with each of us?
He does! This is illustrated within today's reading!
How will this happen? He explained the concept to His disciples, essentially telling them that even though they had an intimate relationship, it would become even deeper upon Jesus' departure. On one level, that might not make sense.
However, listening to Jesus, this makes perfect sense. Because Jesus explains that He, along with the Holy Spirit, will dwell within them, take up residence in their hearts. You can't get more intimate than that!
Jesus is our most intimate partner, but also remember this. Initimacy is a verb, in other words, an action! An example is Jesus instructing the disciples to keep his commands (love one another, etc.) It is a two-way street!
