The Gospel of John - The Command of Christ

As Jesus prepares his disciples for life without Him, He spends significant time emphasizing one important point. Before we are asked to do anything for God, He invites us to be with Him. Intimacy with Jesus is the goal. But so often, sitting with God takes a backseat to performing for God. There is work to be done, accomplishments to be won… and we forget the truth of Psalm 46:10 — that we know God best when we are still before Him. We will never stumble into godliness. To be transformed by Christ requires daily presence with Him. Make your home in Him, and He will make His home in you.
