John 14:23

John 14:23. Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Just as the angels came to believing Abraham, and sojourned for a little while with him, so will Jesus and the Father, strangers in this world, become sojourners with us. Jesus says of the man who loves him, "My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." This is not a mere call, it is an abiding: "we will make our abode with him." God, whom the heavens cannot contain yet comes and dwells in a lowly heart, and abides with a loving spirit: "We will come unto him, and make our abode with him." There is an aroma about these words which I cannot convey to you; but if you have the spiritual nostril, you will perceive their fragrance for yourselves.
