Episode 72 -- Imitation of Christ III.34 -- God Above all Things and in All Things is the Delight of the Loving Heart

We read about the importance that the eternal Word, the Son of God, our incarnate Lord has in our lives. He is our all. He is our God. He alone can make certain situations sweet and joyful. And in the end, everything turns sour if He is not involved. Who can make us love Him properly? Who can make us delight in Him and find our true consolation in Him? He can! He sends us the Holy Spirit. Let us not try to love God the Son by our own power. "No one can come to me," Jesus said, "unless the Father draws him." How does the Father draw us to the Son? By the Holy Spirit. "No one can say the Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." (1 Cor 12:3).
