4worldlovers: To God who is, who was, and who is to come.

It is usually said by commentators that the union of the faithful in Christ is a spiritual one, created and sustained by the Holy Spirit. That is certainly true; but that is not the whole story. What we have in common is not merely faith in a body of truth, though we do have that. Nor is it even a common spiritual experience, of the kind that we employ in the great festivals, like Easter. Let us be more precise and say that we enjoy God together, our communion consists in our mutual enjoyment of the third person of the Blessed Trinity. The Spirit dwells in each of us and among us as a community. St. Paul says that this community is so intimate that we are actually one body in Christ. What makes us one is more than a doctrine, more than a creed, more than a force or an ideal or a philosophy of life; it is God' in all of God's fullness, power, and love. God shall be with you and shall be in you, said our Lord, promising to send the Counselor.

Last Sunday, we observed the anniversary of the Spirit's coming. The Spirit came, as Jesus has said. The Spirit has since then not withdrawn from the church, but is still personally and powerfully present, not as a vague abstraction, existing in some no man's land of infinite space, but definitely localized in our own souls and bodies, and in that other body which is the church. Individually and collectively, we enjoy a person-to-person association with this Spirit who proceeds from the father and the Son.

If what Christians have in common is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, they certainly enjoy the association of the Lord Jesus Christ. For the whole work of the Spirit, in these New Testament times, is to bring to bear on human beings the full force of the work of the Savior. The Spirit is sent to bring all things to our remembrance, whatsoever Christ has said to us. Note the time sequence: the Spirit was not poured out on the church until our Lord had ascended into heaven, for it was to be the Spirit's function to testify of the completed work of Christ, which obviously could not be done before that work is finished. So, the Spirit brings about our fellowship with Christ by establishing the mystic union, as is adumbrated in that beautiful verse from Revelation: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if there are any who hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to them and eat with them, and they with me” - a verse which, incidentally, has marvelous overtones for our experience in holy communion.

And so, we become members of the Christian family; by this means we come back to the Father of us all. Such fusion of human beings into community, the coming together of people in a holy communion, is God's own solution to the problem of world peace. That is also why every one of us who continues in the communion is thereby making a contribution to the peace of the world, and everyone who brings a stranger into the communion makes an even greater contribution.

Meditation: What does Scripture tell us about God and how he relates to us? When God met with Moses on Mount Sinai and made a covenant with the people of Israel, he revealed the nature of his character and his personal love for them:

"The LORD passed before him, and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy and faithfulness'" (Exodus 34:6).

God is all-loving, faithful, merciful, and forgiving by nature. God's love is supreme because it directs, orders, and shapes everything he does.
