"Do you actually take the words of Jesus
for what it says?"
This has been a question booming in the back of my head.
Jesus words are powerful.
They bring life, they move hearts, they penetrate our thoughts, they break down walls of pride and arrogance...
He himself called himself "THE WORD".
Don't you believe that I am in the Father,
and that the Father is in me?
The words I say to you are not just my own.
Rather,
it is the Father,
living in me,
who is doing his work.
Believe me
when I say that I am
in the Father and the Father is in me;
or at least believe
on the
e v i d e n c e
of the miracles themselves.
.
I tell you the truth,
anyone
who has faith in me
!WILL DO!
-what I have been doing-.
.
He will do even greater things than these,
because I am going to the Father.
.
And I will do
w h a t e v e r...y o u...a s k
i n...m y...n a m e ,
so that the Son may
bring glory
to the Father.
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
.
"If you love me,
you will obey what I command.
.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor
to be with you forever—
the Spirit of truth.
The world cannot accept him,
because it neither sees him
nor knows him.
But you know him,
for he lives with you
and will be in you.
.
I will not leave you as orphans;
I will come to you.
Before long, the world will not see me anymore,
but you will see me.
Because I live, you also will live.
On that day
you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
.
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching.
These words you hear are not my own;
they belong to the Father who sent me."
All this I have spoken while still with you.
.
But the Counselor,
the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send
in my name,
will teach you
all things
and will remind you
of everything I have said to you.
.
Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
DO NOT
let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid!
.
"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you now
before it happens,
so that when it does happen
you will believe.
I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming.
He has no hold on me,
but the world must learn that I love the Father
and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
Come now; let us leave".
