Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. John 14:10-11
Wednesday morning of Passion Week, and we wake up to wonder where Jesus and the disciples were at that time almost two thousand years ago. It is quite possible that at least one of the followers of the Christ were pondering the verses we read today on that morning long ago, maybe Philip the one who had asked to be shown the Father. Although the timing of events to days of the week can be difficult for us, it may be that at this point even Judas was still one of the boys, Jesus had not been arrested, and the big booting out of Rome would happen any day now, they thought. But, Jesus had already spoken the Word, and all was going according to God's plan. The happy moment of the triumphal entry was a couple of days back, and soon those things Jesus had said more than once would come to pass would begin. The disciples of Messiah woke up to begin their day.
They were told, but they did not understand.
