God's blessed promises!
I am going to read from the Amplified Bible, instead of my King James Version which I dearly love. I feel this amplified version patiently enhances the meanings of the King James Version. Verse 1 do not let your hearts be troubled, meaning distressed agitated, you believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God, believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on me. In my father's house there are many dwelling places homes, if it were not so I would have told you for I am going away to prepare a place for you. And when I go and make ready a place for you I will come back again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And to the place where I'm going you know the way. Then Thomas said to him, Lord, we did not know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by or through me. Verse 7 if you had known me had learned to recognize me, you would also have known my father. From now on you know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the father, cause us to see the father that is all we ask then we shall be satisfied. Jesus replied, have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father how can you see then show us the father? Do you not, believe that I am in the father and that the Father is in Me? What I am Telling You I do not stay on my own authority and on my own accord but the father who lives continually in me does the works, his own miracles deeds of power. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me or else believe me for the sake of the very works themselves. If you cannot trust me, at least let these words that I do in my father's name convince you. Verse 12 IRC are you most solemnly I tell you if anyone steadfastly believes in Me he will himself be able to do the things that I do and he will do even greater things than these because I go to the Father. I want to skip 2 vs 16 No let's make that verse 15. If you really love me you will keep obey my commands. And I will ask the Father and he will give you another comforter meaning a counselor helper intercessor advocate strengthener and standby, that he may remain with you forever the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive meaning they cannot welcome or take to its heart, because it does not see him or know and recognize him, for he lives with you constantly and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans meaning comfortless desolate relieved forlorn helpless, I will come back to you. Just a little while now and the world will not see me anymore but you will see me because I live you will live also. At that time when that day comes you will know for yourselves that I am in my father. And you are in me, and I am in you. So as this is a very long chapter to read in order to post on my blog, I will encourage you to read the entire book of John. Especially the fourteenth chapter. As I have lived I have finally seen through spiritual eyes what the Lord was trying to say. It took me over 50 years but now I see I just decided to order those gracious words from verse 28. You heard me tell you, I am going away and I'm coming back to you if you really love me you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father for the father is greater and mightier than I am verse 29 and now I have told you this before it occurs so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on me. These are the gracious words and promises of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless
