Resurrection is...Further up and Further in.

“Further Up and Further In” — John 14:23–29

In this week’s passage, Jesus responds to a powerful question: How will you reveal yourself to us and not to the world? His answer invites us into something deeper. Drawing from C.S. Lewis’s phrase “further up and further in,” we see that Jesus isn’t just giving His disciples information—He’s drawing them into greater intimacy with God.

He goes further up and further in by making His home in those who love Him. He goes further up and further in by sending the Holy Spirit to help us remember and obey. He goes further up and further in by giving us His own peace. And He goes further up and further in by returning to the Father—bringing us with Him into even greater things.

This is the journey of love and faith. As we love Jesus and keep His word, we are invited to follow Him—step by step—further up and further in.
