"And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him." ( John 8 : 29 )
If a country sends its representative (Ambassador) to another country, that country bears all the expenses incurred by him. He will be given many favors without asking. If the representative has a problem the country sent him will act to relieve him of the problem. Not only that, the person so sent will also be given many powers. But one condition is that the person sent as a representative should be loyal to the sending country and not give up the glory of his country.
God the Father sent Jesus Christ into the world to do His will. Jesus Christ did exactly that work. Not only that, everything he did was pleasing to God the Father. That's why Jesus Christ said, "Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him."
As the Father sent Jesus Christ, Christ sends us today into the world. "As the Father hath sent me, even so I sent you." (John 20:21) said Jesus Christ. This verse is not just for the disciples but for all of us Christians. Because we are called to live a life of discipleship.
We can identify ourselves as Christians to the world only when God the Father is with us as He was with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has promised us that too. "If a man love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him; and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:23). That is, we must commit ourselves to live according to the words of Christ. This verse says that "we will come to him and dwell with him".
Yes, the Father and Christ the Son will dwell with us only when we obey the commandments of Christ. Living such a life is the true Christian life.
We must come to the point where we can say with certainty that he who sent me is with me. As we grow in the spiritual life we will have that assurance. Only when we are convinced that Christ is with us can we dare to proclaim Christ to others.
Not only that, but God will do all the good for us, just as the country that sent him does all the good for a representative. A representative sent to a country need not have to plead his needs to the sending country. The country that sent him will make many concessions to him. In the similar way, as we live according to Christ, He will meet our needs.
Let us commit ourselves to doing works that are pleasing to Christ. Let us ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He, the Spirit of truth, can help us walk in the path of Christ. Then the world will know that Jesus Christ, who sent us, is with us and has not left us alone.
Let us commit ourselves to Christ to live such a higher life.
