Of the Son

John 14:19-21
19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 
21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
-
The Word of God is now in the living form of Christ Jesus. And the Son of God, this son of Man, is the living Authority of the Father. What that means is Jesus served the will of the Father while in the flesh, and overcame himself to carry that righteousness into the judgement of death. This, was the goal of mankind, to become part of God, overcoming sin with faith, undoing what the original sin had done.
You see the Father is in Jesus, and Jesus is in the Father. What that means is the unseen qualities of the Holy Conscience, 'the Kingdom of God', is the storehouse of His righteousness. And Jesus by denying himself and remaining in faith, was the vessel by which the righteousness of the Father was poured out. So in essence, Jesus carried the Father's conscience, in faith, as, the Father acknowledged that faith in seeing Jesus being obedient of his own will. ' the Father in the Son-the son in the Father'.
Now, for the disciples, and now us, our faith is proven in our acts. Our faith is that Jesus is the Holy One of God, who is alive, and is of the Father. This faith we acknowledge in denying ourselves in obedience to the commands Jesus set forth. Our faith; becoming, and maintaining this obedience, defines us as of the body of Christ, which he is the head. And just as Jesus did the Father's will, (so the Father was in him), we now serve in the similar manor, so we are of Christ and he is in us.
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 
To love Jesus, is to show obedience to the commands he put forth for our sake. To love the Father with our hearts, minds and souls, and to love one another, treating others how we would have ourselves be treated. If we do these things, our obedience is rewarded with awareness and capacity to do more in love.

How the kingdom and the Holy Spirit relate to this love is, love is the foundation of the gift of Truth. Truth is the Authority of God that lives in the form of Jesus. The Father loved us so much, that He gave His Son. Our belief in this love, is acknowledged by the Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit guides us in the present moment, and the Kingdom which is founded in Love, supplies in the present moment, holiness that comes through us in or acts. In this way; we honor Christ Jesus, and this glorifies the Father through His Son.
To be a part of the body of Christ is to be a part of life itself. And although our flesh may fail, our soul is clothed in the service we have done, and continue to do eternally. We will be united with our physical form at a later date, but our soul until then; is a part of the love we shared and served while we were here. The eternal body of Christ Jesus is the gathering of souls who will share in this promise.

Life is spiritual, holy and eternal. It is not this physical vessel we are in, it is itself a gift of love worthy of discovering and using to serve that which it is a part of; God. Faith in the path Christ Jesus set before us, is walked by us in confidence that our acts in self denial, are validated. It is a sufferance that he did for us, and we do to show we love him for leading our way.

Of the Son.
