He knows, afresh, the world through the experience of that child.
Really?
Really. That's what the New Testament says. Repeatedly.
"Jesus created all things and is connected to all things."
John 1:3-4
"Jesus created everything and he holds everything together."
Colossians 1:15-17
"Jesus created all and now sustains all."
Hebrews 1:3
- Jesus is there at your conception
- Sustains you throughout your life
- And into the next
We speak about inviting Jesus into our life at conversion and inviting him into particular situations. The truth is, HE has already included you inside HIS own life - inside his friendship with his Father and the Spirit.
Theologians sometimes depict God in heaven as looking
down
and
WATCHING.
The truth is,
HE is inside us experiencing our lives with us:
feeling our joy
feeling our pain
working through it all to perfect us
Paul says our life is hidden in God with Christ.Jesus says,
"I am in my Father, you are in me and I am in you."
John 14:20
What he means is: what happens to us, happens to him.
- His life is in us
- His death to sin and judgment is in us
- His resurrection is in us
All of this will be realized and experienced by us in due time.
