My wife and I enjoy being great grandparents (emphasis on great). It is one of the most fun and rewarding times of our lives. We love spending time with our kids, and grandkids. What a joy it is when our little one says, “I wuv you GigiPop”. Of course, my wife is Gigi, and I am Pop, but in our great granddaughters mind we are one. Oftentimes she will simply say “I want to stay with GigiPop.” I love the fact that she refers to my wife and I as one.
I am reminded of Jesus’ prayer in the Gospel of John “20 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” John 17:20-23. (NKJ).
The intimacy and ease with which Jesus speaks to God is unmistakable. Jesus and God share a perfect loving relationship. Through Jesus, we also enter a perfect loving relationship with God. Are you connected with the life of God so much so that you cannot be seen apart from that life? Jesus holds the key to unity and is indeed the revelation of the invisible God? What a gift we have been given, that we can show the world who God is by being one with Him and one with each other.
