Intimacy Requires Commitment

In the context of a committed relationship, Jesus promises to show Himself to us, reveal Himself, disclose to us the innermost secret of who He is. Often we want that intimate disclosure without being serious about the relationship. If you think about it, that’s not much different from casual sex, wanting the pleasures of intimacy without the commitment. But Jesus is not indiscriminately intimate.
