Show Notes

We come to John 14 this morning. We saw Jesus humble Himself to the point of washing the disciples' feet last week in John 13 at the beginning of their evening together. John records a full 5 chapters of Jesus teaching and praying with His disciples in this last night together before His passion, and we have a sense that He has saved His most important words for this last time together. There is so very much contained in these chapters, we aren't able to look at every sentence together, and reading through them on your own would be an excellent way to set everything we do discuss in context.  [John 13-17]

Today we'll reflect largely on 2 areas of Jesus' focus: His penultimate I Am statement (Way, Truth, and Life) and His promise of the Holy Spirit. Either of those deserve an 8-week series! The mission of Christ to establish a way back home into the Father's presence brings us hope and larger perspective with which to look at life. His promise of His presence with us, along with that perspective, brings us peace that the world cannot know. And we get to bear the treasure of these gifts to others!
