Jesus said in Matthew 26, verse 29, 'I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father 's kingdom. ' This verse has confused the Church for many years. Who is the Father? Is he another God, more superior and powerful than Jesus. Many think that he is. But the answer is, the Father is God 's other personality, the way God makes his decisions. Within the mind of God, conversation is always taking place. The Father talkes to the Son and the Holy Spirit, and vice versa. This is what Jesus meant when he said to Nicodemus, 'I assure you, I am telling you what WE know and have seen, and yet you won 't believe US. ' The WE and the US are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three constantly talk to each other within God. This is how God makes his decisions. But when God speaks to us, it is always as Jesus, the Son. This is what we see talking place in this verse and all through the Gospels. So by saying 'In My Father 's Kingdom, ' Jesus was saying that within God, God 's other personality made the final decision. Again, this is how God speaks to us. 'Hi, I d like to say good day to you. I am Jesus. The Father sends his greetings, too. ' And when we ask Jesus to show us the Father, he says, 'When you see me, you see the Father who sent me. The Father and I are the same God. ' Then Jesus says, 'By the way, The Holy Spirit says hi, too. The Holy Spirit is also God. ' Al praises to the Almighty God!
