We are looking for his coming. (iv) In Jesus we see God loving. In the moment of danger these things flash unbidden into our minds. Then frequent it; and though as yet in your bodies you cannot reach to him, yet in spirit you can.

But suppose the person we ask says: "Come. Let us be willing to go wherever God calls us. There are some of God’s children who have little power with him in prayer, — some who walk so disorderly that, since they do not listen to God’s words, he will not listen to theirs. So Jesus says, “Whither I go, ye know, and the way ye know.”There is always somebody who has not learned the lesson.

In rejecting them we reject Christ. There is a sense in which the soul shrinks from what we might call a static heaven. It is so with Christ. If we do that, the sheer personal impact will compel us to believe. At the moment men saw in the Cross only his humiliation and his shame; but the time would come when they would see in it his obedience to God and his love to men. Study Hints for Thinking Furtherdiscuss the five questions below to help with class preparation and in conducting class discussion. Ye believe in God, believe also in me.

The Holy Ghost says no other and no more than the Lord Jesus Christ himself said, “He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said to you.” The canon of revelation is closed. 2. But I know this, that, to the end of the last of them, I shall bear your mark upon me." Ay, indeed; to come to the Father is to come to perfect blessedness, to know the fullness of his eternal love, and to enjoy it in face-to-face communion;—this is heaven.Do we, then, see the Father when we see Christ? Let not your heart be troubled. B. Bruce. The surgeon with his new techniques, the physician with his new treatments and his miracle drugs, can now effect the most amazing cures. Suppose the person asked says: "Take the first to the right, and the second to the left. The point of Jesus' saying is: we can see only what we are fitted to see. This is our joyful hope, but meanwhile, while he is away, we are not without a Comforter. Gossip tells in his memoir of W. M. Macgregor that, "when it was rumoured that Macgregor thought of deserting the pulpit for a chair, men, in astonishment, asked, Why? So 14:1 can suggest that the disciples' hearts ought not to be troubled since they still trust God and Jesus as they always have or because they will replace being troubled with belief or …

Even his opponents in Palestine were religious men; the Pharisees and the scribes had given their lives to religion as they saw it and there was never any doubt that they revered and practised purity of life. "He who has seen me has seen the Father." But the best definition is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus. If the Psalmist could believe in the ultimate goodness of God, how much can we. "No one," said Jesus, "comes to the Father except through me." We feel that even in heaven we would need to be purified and helped until we could face the greater glory.

It may well be that to the ancient world this was the most staggering thing Jesus ever said. Why is it that men of skill and science have felt moved, and even compelled, to spend their time and their strength, to ruin their health and sometimes to sacrifice their lives, to find cures for disease and relief from pain? Christ comforts his disciples, on the event of his removal from them, by the consideration of his going to prepare a place for them in heaven, Our Lord alludes here to the temple, which was called the house of God, in the precincts of which there were a great number of chambers, Perhaps the greater works refer to the immense multitudes that were brought to God by the ministry of the apostles. THE FAREWELL DISCOURSE In chapter 13, Jesus gathered the disciples together in the Upper Room for the Passover meal. For Jesus is the proof that God is willing to give us everything he has to give. Our Saviour here tells us much about the spirit of truth, but he begins with this test of our love to him, “ If ye love me, keep my commandments.”Not a different Comforter, but the Comforter who is now with us, is of the same nature, and works after the same manner, as the Lord Jesus himself, who was our first Advocate, Helper, Paraclete, Comforter: I give you these four words instead of one, because they are all wrapped up in the original word ‘Paraclete’-“ that he may abide with you for ever and ever.” The Lord Jesus could not abide with us for ever, it was expedient for him that he should go to heaven to prepare a place for us. But in Jesus we see God caring intensely, yearning over men, feeling poignantly for them and with them, loving them until he bore the wounds of love upon his heart. There are husbands who say they love their wives and wives who say they love their husbands, and who yet, by their inconsiderateness and their irritability and their thoughtless unkindness bring pain the one to the other. Until you have it, this verse applies to you: “The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him.”Oh, what a rich promise! No one could ever claim that he had been inveigled into Christianity by specious promises or under false pretenses. In a very short time life for the disciples was going to fall in. Philip proposes a difficulty, and Christ shows that he and the Father are one; that he is Mediator between God and man; and that whatsoever is asked in his name shall be obtained, John 14:8-14.

The more we obey God, the more we understand him; and the man who walks in his way inevitably walks with him. Jesus is saying to his friends: "Don't be afraid.

He goes to die as a Sacrifice, out of love to mankind, in obedience to the Divine will, and with unshaken courage. I'll take you there." In this world our contact with him is shadowy, for we can see only through a glass darkly, and spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. To Jesus real love is not an easy thing.
