“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2).
God the Father is a Spirit, and He is completely invisible. Our opening verse says He has a house, which means He has a dwelling house or a place of residence.
John the Baptist testified of Jesus Christ, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him” (John 1:32).
Now Jesus Christ is the Word of God that was made flesh, according to the Scripture: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).
The one true God, the Father, who is a Spirit dwells in the Word, which is the only begotten Son, as it is written: “For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him” (John 3:34).
Jesus went further saying, “All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you” (John 16:15). Jesus Christ was speaking of the Holy Spirit of the Bible that shall reveal the Word of God as the Christ.
Paul the apostle wrote, saying: “For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). The Scripture is that Son of the invisible Word, as it is written: “For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell” (Colossians 1:19).
The Spirit of God dwells in the Bible, which is the Son of the living God. Therefore Jesus Christ says: “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him” (John 14:7).
John the apostle demonstrates this point beautifully when he writes, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed” (John 8:31). The Bible is that House of God, the accommodation of the invisible Word, the Father.
PRAYER
Dear Lord, I thank you for the Bible, the house of your Word. Help me to dwell in this secret place of the Most High that I may abide under the shadow of the Almighty, in Jesus name. Amen.
