The Father’s Pleasure

Two day post. God’s word, Ed’s opinion and some J. Piper teaching

Lord Jesus, you have made known to me the father, and you continue to make him known to me so that the love with which the father has loved you, Lord Jesus, will be in me and you, my Savior, will dwell in me.  ( a perfect, all powerful, eternal love; a divine love)

The father’s pleasure in the son has become my pleasure. The object of my pleasure, Jesus, my Lord, the Christ, the salvation, has inexhaustible personal worth. He is never boring or disappointing or frustrating.  No greater treasure can be conceived of than the son of God.

My ability to savor the inexhaustible love and worth of Jesus grows more complete day by day and will eventually be perfected for eternity. I will enjoy the son of God with the very enjoyment of his father.

John 17
