Sinful man's mind is alienated from the Mind of God. Yet God calls upon His people to set aside their notions and embrace His Word and His Mind in all things.
A chief point of contact between the Minds of God and the Saints is their agreement together upon the loveliness of the Savior. This is the basis for our eternal fellowship as Sons of God - that the Father and His Sons are agreed about the excellency and beauty of the only begotten Son, the Lord of Glory!
Jesus declared that His Father loves Him because He lays down His life for His Sheep. Thus we find that the Father's love for the Son is tied up in the very act of His that benefits us - the death He died on Calvary to save us for all eternity!
Our love for Christ is taught us by the Father. None can come to Christ except the Father draw him. God's love is demonstrated in Jesus' death for us. All love flows from God, and He changes our hearts to love Him and His Son.
Thus, our hearts are knit together with the Father's in love for the Lord Jesus.
Indeed, there is a circle of love between the Father, the Son, and the Saints. God sees our love for Chirst, and it delights Him! Yet that very love in us was given us by the Father!
What a privilege that we should be joined together with the God of Glory Himself in love for the same person, the Prince of Glory!
The Lord's Table displays to us the very reason for the Father's love for the Son, as well as our own for Him. It displays the sacrifice on the Cross that our Savior made for us.
We ought to rejoice in the Father's love for the Son, even as our love for the Son delights the Father.
