6) Cosmic joy

Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.” (John 15:9 NASB) So what is the nature of the love of the Father for the Son? It’s simply this. With the except of the time when Jesus was separated from the Father while He was bearing our sin, they have never, ever been separated from each other. Not for one moment.

Not only that, they can feel the love they have for each other. Consciously. Continuously. Endlessly. And of course the Holy Spirit is right there with them. What is that like? What is it like to be that close? What is it like to live in the flow of that infinite love? It is absolute, endless, ecstasy. God exists in an ecstatic state where the tidal waves of love and joy never cease; yet at the same time He remains in a condition of perfect, omniscient rationality.

And He wants us to come in and join Him. “Abide in my love.”

In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Ps. 16:11 NASB
