The Lord Jesus is offering to us a relationship that involves us entering into deep fellowship with God. And yet it is not one that is easy to explain to others. The reason the Bible is so much poetry is because poetry moves beyond the mere accounting of information to the communicating of emotional experience that is somewhat hard to merely explain.
The Christians deep relationship with God is inexplicable. We can’t explain it so we write poems, sing hymns, speak like we are thirsty deer or flying eagles or running rivers. There is a mystery about deep fellowship with God. I wish I could explain it to you but I can’t. No one can. That is why it is a mystery. But God can make himself known to you and in so doing can teach you by experience this mystery. Understand this, you can know God deeply. You can, in sense, right now see Jesus, walk with him, talk to him, and listen to him. You can experience, with him, an intimacy of fellowship and a joy in that intimacy that goes beyond imagination or explanation. And once you do you’ll have a hard time telling others about it.
Here is one of those poetic phrases of relationship what we might have a hard time explaining to someone else, “My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.†|
