Abide: To stay in a given place
Before He went to the cross, Jesus told his disciples, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you may be also." He has prepared a place, a real place, inside each of us, a place where we can experience him in his resurrection, new life reality. Each of us given a place, and the place we are given is within the resurrected body of Jesus Christ Himself! We are given and assigned a real place in him as he lives in his place in us! He is living in our mortal, corruptible bodies now! It is his presence keeping our bodies alive now, not mere food and drink. He is constantly feeding us with his words, words we often do not recognize as coming from him because they come within our own thoughts. And the place is inside us. Not a far off, maybe-someday-place, but a holy realm for here and now. Our place is in Him as He lives in us---now!- Joan Wilson
