I see Jesus gazing with such devotion at the face of Father. He smiles and shares such eternal intimacy, honour and light. They absolutely know each other – in a depth that is (humanly speaking) inconceivable. And yet…He asks Father to let us come into this glorious union they share, this incomprehensible oneness.
Human beings have been made welcome into this perichorisis – the divine dance. We could not be more entwined without violating the Trinity. And Holy Spirit is not an “add on”. Rather He is the loving, sacred breath the Father and the Son share. Holy Spirit infuses and saturates us with Himself into the glory of the Threeness.
This is not a glory train that takes us from earth realm into the heavenly. This is new creation life and transfiguration; this is a partaking and an entwining into the beautiful divine nature. We shine in them and with them and through them. Our presence brings them such delight there is laughter and swirling and gorgeous light. And this is our home.
I see many happy, squealing children sliding down enormous ribbons of light, like luminescent waves. This is the experience of entering into Jesus’ joyous delight in Father, being fulfilled in them and overflowing. There is a depth of shared ecstasy that is astounding. Each child’s laughter splashes onto the other children until they are all soaked in joy. And the laughter is the pulsing, exquisite love between the Father and the Son. This is life. This is glory. This is home.
This vision settles me. Steadies me. This reality wraps around me and warms me with “All is well, and all we be well.” I feel my muscles relax and my heartbeat slow. I breathe in this glory and my being engages with heaven.
