18 "“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here."
John 14:18-31
Perhaps one of the most significant places where the intimacy of the fellowship between the Father and the Son can be discerned is the story of the Transfiguration. At least part of the meaning of this mysterious experience is that it speaks of the blazing forth of the Son's passion for the Father's will. The Old Testament words, 'I delight to do Thy will, O my God' (Psalm 40:8) well describe His attitude even when that will involved for Him the bearing of the cross. And on this occasion, that delight in, and passion for, the will of God, which animated all His conscious life, was such that on the slopes of Mount Hermon it blazed forth and transfigured His whole being, making His whole being shine as the sun. And the glory that came down in the cloud was God's answering passion of love for the Son. And it is one of the most wonderful and awe-inspiring beatitudes of life that it should be permitted to us mortals to gaze upon it. Even more wonderful than this, however, is the realisation that we who name His name should be given to share in it and incorporated into it. For Jesus says (21, 23), 'We, the Father and the Son, with the ineffable burning glory of love that exists between us, will come to you and dwell in you, and it will be yours to enter into and share in that love'. In one sense, it is of course impossible for a third party really to share a love that exists between two other people - except in one set of conditions, namely if the third party happened to be the child of the other two; in such a situation, there would be no diminution of love, and the third would be incorporated into the ineffable relationship. That is a faint illustration of what Jesus is saying here, and it constitutes an open invitation to all who name His name to press in to discover something of the preciousness of Christ. The whole secret of life and peace and joy lies here, in love to Him.
