SUMMARY:
Jesus said, “no man comes to the Father , but through Me.” He is our connection to the Father. The Father is the One with the plan. He is drawing us into His love through Christ. It's not complicated; we just open up to the Body of Christ.
SHOW NOTES:
The Father sent His Son into the world not just to give the lost a salvation experience, but to enable a people to be His family.
Christ is maturing within a body of believers as they hear His voice and open up to a fresh revelation of Him.
The presence of the Lord is breaking down the misconceptions and deceptions that would keep us from knowing Him.
The love of the Father is completing His plan in a people.
This experience is so simple; just open up.
This relationship with the Father through Christ liberates us to really love each other.
QUOTATIONS:
The Lord Jesus Christ and His completion in us, gives way to a revelation of the Father.
Everything that's been in the Father's heart from the beginning was to be to us what He's becoming now.
Now there's many sons coming to glory.
Jesus Christ is in us, revealing the Father to the world.
It is unfolding in the heart; it 's just His love.
He's not doing it from the heavens; He's doing it through us.
The Father's love is coming through, because of the relationship I'm having with my Lord and my Father and the Holy Spirit.
If you're moving in Jesus Christ and you're expressing Him, there's those aspects of the Father that are coming through to people already, because they're expressed through Christ.
It's just not anything that you have to strive for; you don't have to do anything. When He is your source and He is your everything, you don't need anything from anyone else.
REFERENCES:

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
TAKE AWAY:
In John 15 we have the kind intention expressed by Christ to us: “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. He is completing unto maturity the work He started in the Body of Christ. Today we ask—be who you are through us. Make us the Father's family.
