John 14 – Christmas Break Study
Buckle up, there may be no more important chapter in the Bible when it comes to understanding the relationship between the Father, Son, and Spirit. Want to know who your God is…study this chapter, research it, learn.
January 4th – John 14
14:16-21
“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the world will not longer see Me, but you will see Me;because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Here’s the truth, if you feel distant from the Lord lately, it’s your fault not His.
Here’s another truth, you have the very same Spirit that is in our mighty God IN YOU.
The other day we read John 11 and that has stuck with me, that was a life-altering reading for me, because I think for the first time I truly understand what it means to have life. We look at the life of Jesus and are amazed at his words and believe the things he did and are amazed that he did them (like most of the crowds that followed Him around), yet we mosey on through this ‘life’ wondering what our purpose is, and sometimes struggling to get out of bed in the morning because we are so in need of rest and energy. Maybe you’re not there now, but sometime this past year you probably were.
Today, if you can take a little bit of extra time and just read over Jesus’ words here as he speaks to his very best friends about what is going to happen when He is gone, I believe you will begin to feel and understand the life He is speaking of. Maybe today all you need is an encouragement that someone loves you. He does. And He has not left you as an orphan in this world. And He ABIDES in you.
And you live, because he lives.
*Pray that you can understand the relationship of the Father, Son, and Spirit deeper today*
*Pray that you can know and experience the life Jesus offers.*
*Ask for anything in His name, and He will do it, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.*
It only gets better, tomorrow is John 15!
