John 14 Jesus and the Father

 

John 14 – Jesus and the Father

 

No wonder the disciples were troubled. Jesus was going to leave them, one of them would betray Him, and Peter would deny Him. Jesus encouraged them by telling them about Himself and the Father.

 

We have a home in heaven when life is over, and we shall meet Jesus and the Father. James M. Gray wrote, “who could mind the journey when the road leads home?” Blessed assurance!

 

Jesus reveals the Father in what He said and what He did during His earthly ministry. “I and my Father are one”. How can we not love the Father when He is like Jesus?

 

Jesus glorifies the Father through His people as they do God’s works and Keep His commandments. Apart from the power of the Holy Spirit and prayer, we could never glorify the Lord.

 

It is one thing for us to go to heaven and quite something else for heaven to come to us! There is a deeper fellowship with the Son and the Father for those who Love Him, seek Him, and obey Him. We experience His peace as we commune with the Father and the Son in love.

 

Jesus is the way to the Father; He reveals the truth about the Father; and He shares the life of the Father with us. Why should our hearts be troubled? Because He lives, we shall also live.
