"He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him." John 6:56
What a blessing it is for the Christian, living on this earth, to realize that they are not alone in this world, or distant from God and Christ, but that Christ (along with the rest of the Trinity) lives right inside them. What impressed me with this verse just now is not the above, but that the Christian also dwells in Christ who is in Heaven. Him dwelling in me, as I walk about this earth, is what I usually think of. But I dwell in Him as He is in Heaven sitting at the right hand of God, sitting in power as God. Wherever Christ may walk in Heaven, He takes me with Him, as I dwell within Him. Just as He will never leave me (on earth), I can never leave Him in Heaven. I may cease to think about Him in my own limited abilities and mentality, but He never forgets or ceases to think about me in his unlimited abilities and mentality. At the same time, His love for me never ceases. Oh that Christians would learn this blessed truth, and stop thinking things in contrast to this that are not true.
