You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. -- John 14:20
Jesus in the Father means that he is reigning and in control, with all authority in his hands. Me in Jesus means that I am hidden in Christ, guarded from the attack of the enemy and also empowered by his authority to rule and to reign. Jesus in me means that it is no longer I that live, no longer I that works, no longer I that speaks. This final statement of surrender is asking of me to let him renovate my inner being (Romans 12:2). Are there any walls of decay left standing from the old self that should be torn down to make way for his new pillars of truth?
Prayer: Jesus, today I give room to you to tear down the broken things within me. Please fully inhabit every corner of my being and fill me with all your fullness. Help me find confidence as I am hidden in you. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus, reign in me, in my circumstances, and in this world today.
