Your home

John 14:2 “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to pepare a place for you?” Jesus is or has prepared your home in Heaven.  That home is more luxurious than any of us can imagine.  Why would any of us be afraid to go there?  Our human nature hangs on to this earthly life while our God/Spiritual nature looks forward to our phenomenal life in Heaven.

Be careful with self confidence

John 13:37 “Peter asked,’ Lord, why can’t I follow you now?  I will lay down my life for you.'” Peter was self confident, impetuous, and did not realize how much he needed his Savior at his side.  You and I should never make the mistake of thinking we have a faith which is so strong that we can be self reliant.  We have a much stronger faith when we realize we have strength in weakness.  We are in desperate need of our Savior always by our side.  When we realize that we walk with His strength and there is nothing better or stronger.

Accepting truth

John 13:20 “Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” Jesus explains His order of mission work.  The disciple–one like you and me who have the responsibility of telling others the truths about our Savior.  The Son—the One who is our Advocate and the Father—who sent His Son who brought perfection so you and I and other Christians could appear perfectly before our Father.  Our God’s plan is perfect.

What is learned from our Teacher?

John 12:50 “I know that his command leads to eternal life..  So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” Following the words of our Teacher, you and I and anyone else who presents God’s teachings as God truly is, must study and accurately present as God presents Himself.  For anyone to interject their opinion is being detrimental to both themselves and to their followers and listeners.  Keep God’s Word pure.  Study His entire Word.  Represent His Truth.  Earthly and eternal life is at stake.

Jesus and purpose

John 12:46 “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” You and I have the privilege of knowing, believing and having a tight relationship with the Savior of the world.  That relationship not only lights our world on this earth but also guarantees an eternal life of joy as we walk with our Heavenly Father.  It is also your and my responsibility to teach others of this magnificent Light.
