22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me. 25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
John 14:22–31 ESV
Here are four insights into the inside information for Christ followers.
1. The Lord’s special promise to keepers of His Word.
2. The Lord’s advanced teacher is with you.
3. Jesus is the ultimate authority on God’s will.
4. God’s peace is the remedy to the chaos in your heart.
Points to ponder:
- Everything about Jesus Christ is unique because Christ was God in the flesh.
- Christ still has unique relationships with His people in today’s world.
- Jesus has complete access to God the father and we believers have that same access that empowers and encourages us.
- To calm your heart you need to take in all of God’s peace for yourself and your circumstances.
- Would you like to have access to peace, God’s will, and God’s teaching then believe upon Jesus Christ today.
Connection Prayer: Lord, please help me surrender to you and place my faith in you. Give me a hunger and thirst for you. I want to thank you for your light, life, love, and your truth. I now, with what faith I have, confess that you Jesus died on the cross for my sins, were buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. I take you as my Savior, Lord, and Leader. Please forgive me of my sins and thank you for your forgiveness. Help me to follow you all the days of my life. Amen.
Next steps for the new believer:
- If you prayed the connection prayer with me:
- Pick up a new believer pack as you leave.
- Read John 3, three times before you go to bed tonight.
- Read the gospel of John all the way through by reading about ten verses a day.
Next steps for the believer:
- This week review the sermon notes at least twice.
- Read John 14 twice.
- Memorize John 14:6.
- Analyze if you are approbating all that God has for you in Christ.
- Pray that God would give you insight on how to live out your faith.
- If you have placed your faith in Christ then spend this week thanking God that the Lord loves you.
