Section 5
Son. The little word "in" is very important, for it points to the matter of coinherence. The Lord came in the Father and with the Father in Him. This is what it means to say that the Son came in the name of the Father.
It is vital for us to see that to be in the name of the Lord Jesus means that we are one with Him, that we are in Him and He in us. As the Son is in the Father and the Father in the Son in the way of coinherence, we also must be one with the Lord in this way. We and the Lord Jesus should coinhere; that is, we need to be in Him and have Him in us. Then truly we shall be in the Lord's name.
SATURATED WITH THE WORD
In Colossians 3:17 Paul says, "And in every thing, whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Doing all things in the name of the Lord Jesus is related to let ting the word of Christ saturate us and permeate us. We are filled, saturated, and permeated with the Word by praying, singing, and psalming the Word and giving thanks to God the Father for the Word. In this way we stir up our whole being, our mind, will, emotion, and spirit.
