I was thinking upon John 14:1-6 this morning and saw a deep connection to Hebrews 10, entering into the Holiest by the Blood of our Perfect Man. This Holiest is the "place" He has prepared for us, He is the Way, the New and Living Way by which we come into the Presence of the Father. No man can come to the Father except through Him. His preparatory work is His High Priestly ministry, first as the One Who offers the Only Acceptable Sacrifice, He Himself Being that Sacrifice, and then His ascension to the Right Hand of the Father, the very Bosom of the Father which is the Holy "Place", as our Eternal High Priest, "where" "He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God THROUGH HIM, since He EVER LIVES to make intercession for them." (Heb 7:25) That intercession is His Eternal mediation of His Perfect Being on our behalf in the Presence of the Holy Father. This is what Jesus prays for in John 17:24, "Father, I desire that they whom you gave Me (John 6:37-43) MAY BE WITH ME WHERE I AM, that they MAY BEHOLD MY GLORY, which You Have Given Me; FOR YOU LOVED ME BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD." It seems to me that His Glory is the very Love that radiates from the Father to the Son and from the Son to the Father, for all eternity, that Love Being the very Holy Spirit Who ever Proceeds from the Father.(John 15:26) Therefore, the conclusion is that the drawing near is an entering into and being enveloped in, the Very Love of the Father for the Son that is the Eternal Life that is our Inheritance in the Beloved Son. That is the fulfillment of the Abba Cry that the Precious Spirit continually stirs up in our troubled hearts! (Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 4:4-7)
