The Christian in Communion with the Triune God

Last Lord's Day we arrived to John 14:16 and 17 in which the Lord Jesus informed His disciples of the Holy Spirit that the Father would send to them in answer to His prayer. The Lord Jesus promised that His disciples would be assisted by the Holy Spirit and that He would be "in them" (14:17). Today we desire to continue this very important subject that we have before us, that we find not only here but also in the next two chapters of this Gospel. In addition, in these last words of Jesus to His disciples He spoke of the close fellowship that His disciples would enjoy with all three Persons of the blessed Holy Trinity. Although the Lord Jesus was about to leave them, He would not leave them alone. After He left them, He would pray to His Father so that "another Helper", the Holy Spirit, would come to them (v. 16). But He also promised that He Himself would "come" to them, along with the Father who would also "come" to them (v. 23). We see in our passage, therefore, that our Lord Jesus promised His disciples that they would experience and enjoy fellowship with each of the Persons of the Holy Trinity. And so, today, I would like to introduce this matter of the Christian in communion with the Triune God.
