God and His People - 2

.. God in His people – Dwelling

2 Corinthians 6:16

What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?  For we are the temple  of the living God.  As God has said:

  “I will live with them

 and walk among them,

 and I will be their God,

 and they will be my people.”

John 17:21-26

that all of them may be one,  Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.  May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.    I have given them the glory that you gave me,  that they may be one as we are one —   I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me  and have loved them  even as you have loved me.

    “Father, I want those you have given me  to be with me where I am,  and to see my glory,  the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 

    “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,  I know you, and they know that you have sent me.    I have made you known to them,  and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them  and that I myself may be in them.”

. King James I once became annoyed with the irrelevant ramblings of his court preacher and shouted up to the pulpit: “Either make sense or come down out of that pulpit!”  The preacher replied, “I will do neither.” - Unknown

. No, I do not become discouraged.  You see, God has not called me to a ministry of success.  He has called me to a ministry of mercy. - Mother Teresa
