John 14:21

by

In John 13 through John 17, we read about Jesus’ last night with His disciples before He died on the cross. Jesus knew they wouldn’t understand what was going to happen, but He was trying to prepare them. 

 11 "Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can't believe that, believe what you see - these works.
12 The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it.
13 From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it.
14 Whatever you request in this way, I'll do.
15 "If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you.
16 I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.
17 This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take him in because it doesn't have eyes to see him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!
18 "I will not leave you orphaned. I'm coming back.
19 In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you're going to see me because I am alive and you're about to come alive.
20 At that moment you will know absolutely that I'm in my Father, and you're in me, and I'm in you.
21 "The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that's who loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and make myself plain to him."

The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
