Abide in Me, and I in You.
There is no deeper word in Scripture. God is in all. God dwells in Christ. Christ lives in God. We are in Christ. Christ is in us: our life taken up into His; His life received into ours; in a divine reality that words cannot express, we are in Him and he in us. and the words, Abide in me and I in you, just tell us to believe it, this divine mystery, and to count upon our God the husbandman, and Christ the Vine, to make it divinely true.
Blessed Lord, thou dost bid me abide in thee. How can I, Lord, except Thou show thyself to me, waiting to receive and welcome and keep me? I pray thee show me how thou as Vine undertaketh to do all. to be occupied with thee is to abide in Thee.
Here I am, Lord, a branch, cleansed and abiding--resting in Thee, and awaiting the inflow of thy life and grace.
May the Christ in you be the hope of Glory to all who read.
