Section 10
Son spoke, the Father worked. I mention this to show you that the Father is the source and that the Son is the expression. The Son came in the Father's name, and the Father worked through the Son.
THE BELIEVERS LIVING BY THE SON
Now the believers need to live by the Son. In 6:57 the Lord Jesus said, "He who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me." We need to eat Jesus in order to live by, or because of, Him.
In 14:12 the Lord said that those who believe in Him will do greater works than He did. In verses 13 and 14 He said that if we ask anything in His name, He will do it. To be in the Lord's name means to be one with the Lord, to live by the Lord, and to let the Lord live in us. The Lord came and did things in the Father's name, mean ing that He was one with the Father (10:30), that He lived by the Father, and that the Father worked in Him. In the Gospels, the Lord as the expres sion of the Father did things in the Father's name. In the Acts, the disciples as the expression of the Lord did even greater things in His name. They needed to have the Son living in them (John 14:19) in order that the Son might be expressed as the Spirit.
