"BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" John 14:23 (S3-Episode #16)

Like the RONCO knife commercial tag line, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE...!" John 14 just piles on the benefits of this new Covenant that Jesus makes before His crucifixion.   Episode #15 talks a lot about the BENEFITS.  Today I was struck by the CONDITIONS.

Except I think that is not the best word:  I think a better concept is not that those benefits are conditional, but they are more so RELATIONAL.   That is: pursue, plan, enjoy and walk a relationship with Jesus, Father, and Spirit and good stuff follows.

So what do I gotta DO to have the Godhead ROBUSTLY interact inside of me?

• keep my commandments
• KNOW that I (Jesus) and in the Father
• demonstrate LOVE for me
• KEEP my word
• TRUST that I did all the things I said (have faith)

But wait, did I know that there was MORE? More than the pretty darn awesome coming and indwelling of the Holy Spirit?  A Father and Jesus who come to me.  A Father and Jesus who MAKE THEIR HOME with me.

We often aim for awe in this podcast.  Occasionally we hit it.  Today, this concept for me is jaw-dropping, put my hand over my mouth, can't hardly talk about it AWE-STONISHMENT .  Deal with it. Subscribe on apple podcasts or whatever so when this happens again tomorrow you are ready for it.
