Another thing with
which John was delighted
Was what was known
and spoken about abiding.
On Christ abode the
Spirit, undivided,
And the disciples
began with the enquiry
Where He abode,
wishing to be beside Him.
Christ's desire was
that those who were enlightened
Abide in His own
word without repining;
Unless each one,
regarded as a vine-branch,
Abides in Him no
fruit will be provided
And there is
promised a place of God's designing
- An area of
joy without confinement -
Within the Father's
house, assured by Christ's place.
Really lovely.
