That We May Enter In
By G.W. North0JHN 1:14JHN 17:21ROM 8:29COL 2:9HEB 2:9G.W. North emphasizes the profound communion that Jesus had with the Father, highlighting that this divine fellowship was exclusive to the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He explains that while celestial beings like cherubim and seraphim worshipped God, they were not part of this intimate communion. Jesus, however, maintained this connection even while on earth, embodying the fullness of the Godhead. The sermon reveals God's desire for humanity to join this communion, which led to Jesus being commissioned to create a pathway for others to enter into this sacred fellowship. North ultimately underscores the significance of Jesus' mission to fulfill God's longing for many sons to share in this divine communion.
I and My Father Are One

North emphasizes that the Communion established by Jesus reflects the eternal union of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, inviting humanity into this divine relationship. He explains that Jesus' mission was to bring people into this heavenly Communion and to foster a similar unity among believers on earth. This union is not about equality with God but about a profound connection that mirrors the oneness of the Trinity. North highlights that true Communion cannot be formed through mere agreements or church memberships but is an experiential reality rooted in Christ's teachings. The sermon calls believers to cherish and understand the significance of this divine Communion as a gift from God.
The Union of Love
By G.W. North0MAT 26:39LUK 22:19JHN 14:6G.W. North emphasizes that God is the essence of communion, embodying eternal life and love among the three persons of the Trinity. Jesus came to establish this divine communion, fully aware of the suffering He would endure, as He prayed in the garden, seeking confirmation from the Father about His path. His commitment to the covenant was unwavering, demonstrated through the Last Supper, where He shared bread and wine with His disciples, symbolizing His love and sacrifice. North highlights that Jesus' cries were not of cowardice but a genuine inquiry into the possibility of another way, affirming that He alone could bridge the gap between God and humanity. Ultimately, Jesus, being both human and divine, is the only hope for establishing this communion.
