We find sonship so blessedly brought out in John’s gospel. Not only has He given me eternal life, but the Father enters into all my smallest wants; the least things about me are remembered, the Father’s love and grace streaming round me.
Sonship is relationship. The Only Begotten came out of the divine glory, and everyone who received Him became a son. If I am a son, then God is my Father, and I can say, “Abba, Father.” What rest there!
All the saved will be in glory, but for the children, given by the Father to the Son, it is the Father’s house. God takes all the blessing Christ won and shares it all with us. There is a spring in the heart of God, flowing forth for us as sons, individually, for you and me, for His name’s sake—not only the new and living way opened, but beloved in Him as sons.
G. V. Wigram (from Gleanings)
