Nightmare comment.
I feel that we covered the 13th of John yesterday in the main.
The hymns and Justin singing reminders of the Lords coming.
My faith and hope to see love abide the Lord.
The other one, the other hymn says We soon shall walk by sight here.
That suggests the 14th of John. Do you?
Well, it has been on my heart, because there we have the Lord's promise that he has come.
It isn't a doctrine so much there as it is his statement. Himself is not.
Use the whole chapter hide myself.
John's Gospel, chapter 14.
Loved your heart through the troubles.
Believe in God. Believe also in me.
In my father's house are many man.
If it were not so, I would have told you I go into the pair of place for you.
Oh my God, repair place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself. And where I am, there you may be also.
I go you know and the way you know.
Thomas said under him, Lord, we know not whither of those and.
How can we know the way?
Jesus said, Under him I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If he had known me, he should have known my father also, and from henceforth he knows him, and I've seen him.
Unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and the suffice of us.
Please have unto him, have I been so long time with you, And yet hast thou not known me, Phillips he never seen me have seen.
Thou then show us the Father.
Believe it or not, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, the words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself, but the fallen that dwells in need.
He doeth the work.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very worst thing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me the works that I do, shall he do also, and greater works of thee shall he do, because I go on to my Father.
And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the sun, maybe.
Ask anything in my name. I will do it. If you love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another confidence that he may abide with you forever.
Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it sees him not, neither know of him.
But he knoweth him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in him.
I will not leave you comfortable. I will come to you.
In a little while and the world really no more. But he see me.
Because I live, you should live also.
But that day ye shall know that I am in my father, and ye and me, and I and you.
He even had my commandments and keep it there. He is in love with me, and he did love me, shall be loved to my Father, and I will love him, and it will manifest myself to him.
00:05:14
Not his carrier, Lord, how is it about manifest our self hunter once and not under the world?
See the lands and settle to him. If a man love me, he will keep my word, and my father will love him, and he will come, and we will come under him and make our abode.
He that loveth me not, he must not my faith, and the word which he hear is not mine, but the Father is with him.
Here's the things. Have I spoken unto you, Being yet, cousin, with you but the Comforter, which is the holy gold, when the Father will stand in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance.
Whatsoever I have said on you.
And I leave with you, by the peace I give up not of the world give us give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let her be afraid.
You have heard how I said unto you, I go away and come again unto you, If you love me, you would rejoice, because I said I go under the Father, for my Father is greater than I.
Come now, I have told you before, it comes to pass that when it is come, that when it is come to pass, you might believe.
After I will not talk much, for the Prince of this world comes and has nothing in me.
But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandments, Even so I.
Arise, let us go ahead.
The last the last verse of this chapter.
Calls for a word of explanation.
Yesterday we remarked.
That the Lord Jesus, after his public ministry, took his own apart into the upper room for that last Passover supper.
And when he had them there, he communicated to them they used to come.
The 13th chapter he was telling that.
Of his present office for us.
On to keep us in communion while we're here and he's there.
The 14th chapter tells us that he's coming back for us.
But the last verse of this chapter says arise, let us go hence.
I take it from the desk clause.
The 17th and 16th chapters are spoken on the way between the upper row and the Garden of Gethsemane.
For in the 18th chapter he comes to the guard. I am not so clear.
About the 17th chapter, that prayer of the Lord Jesus to His Father concerning His own. He would leave here as to where it was uttered, but suffice it to say that it comes in admirably at the close of the Lords instruction to them concerning his absence. And he's coming for them, and there we're permitted to hear His.
Heart told out to his father concerning his own downhill. I wouldn't say where it was uttered, but from this last clause I think the 15th and 16th were probably uttered on the way to get 70.
Agree with that brother sheltering, yes.
Doesn't the 17th chapter give us, as you might say, a sample of the Lord's intercession for us daily? Yes, it's a height. It's his high priestly prayer.
Men talk about the Lord's prayer and refer to that which he gave to his disciples that was suited to the condition then.
But that's not the Lords prayer the 17th of John is.
And the reason so many Christians pray what's known as the Lords prayer is that they're in a state of soul comparable to that of the disciples at that time.
00:10:11
That is, deliverance is not known. Forgiveness is not known. It's not in the it's not prayed by the Spirit, it's not in the name of the Lord Jesus, but it was ideally suited to the disciples at that time, before the props.
And many Christians who prayed in all sincerity today do so because they're practically in the state in which the disciples were then.
But all what a precious subject we have before us in the 14th.
I suppose their hearts were troubled because their hopes were earthly. They had looked for the Kingdom to be established on earth. Just like in the Lord's Prayer. Thy Kingdom come. But now the Lord Jesus is seeking to bring before them something that was going to be their portion instead of the Kingdom. And it's our portion too, through grace.
But isn't it so that often our hearts are troubled because we have looked for something down here. They look for the Kingdom, but it's something that we have looked for down here that we didn't receive. And our hearts are troubled. Well, what does the Lord do? Well, he points our hearts upward, shows us that our real portion is not down here, but up there, and he's going to come and bring us there.
Let not your heart be troubled.
And as our brother Ayo said, their hearts were trouble. They had a right to be. They thought that there was a that which should have redeemed Israel at that time. Not only that, but their hearts were attached to him personally.
And here he's talking about leaving them.
Well, if all you they left all to follow him, and now he was telling them that he was going to leave them, where did that leave them?
In a hostile world.
They had felt its hostility. Now, he says, I'm going to leave you while your heart should travel, he says. Because I've said these things to trouble sorrow, it builds your hearts.
Rather than what is he said before though.
He's coming back.
He did not leave the Mormons. Any brother was. No, I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you, And the margin there is ordered.
He wasn't. He isn't letting us make our own way down here without his interest.
But our hope is the coming of the Lord.
Our hope is himself.
I don't know any portion of the Word of God, much more manual than this 14th of John generally.
Was the first person just primarily?
The first verse that's not your heart singular.
He had just addressed He didn't end the 30.
Well, perhaps so, Brother Shelby.
On the other hand, the third is.
When it comes to the second verse, I go to repair a place for you. And certainly it wasn't just Peter.
I notice on this voice verse of our chapter that the Blessed Lord linked himself with the living God. In the first chapter we have him presented before us is one of the Godhead, isn't he? And here a gang. In this place verse he links himself with the eternal God. He said he believed in God. Believe also in me. Wonderful listening. Yes Brother Perra. Powder. Isn't this before 7?
You have believed in God, whom you have not saved. You believed in God as an object of faith. Now you're going to have to believe that me the same way, because I'm going away and you won't see me.
Do you believe in God? You're going to have to believe in me now, the same way.
00:15:03
Well, is there any less precious to us because he isn't here?
When did the disciples ever enter into his mind response?
Think we have a higher place than that we can enter into response.
Or we have the Spirit of God to open up the Word to us.
Would that be Hebrews 1139 and 40?
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Yes, that's referring to the Old Testament.
Now they're not getting their portion yet.
The Old Testament Saints wait for theirs till we get ours.
They without us should not be made first.
In Hebrews 6, where he speaks about going on to perfection, he says not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and a faith toward God wasn't a Jewish faith to believe in God has revealed in contrast with idols. Here, O Israel, the Lord thy God is 1 God. But in the Old Testament, God dwelled in the thick darkness. He wasn't really made known, was he?
But it tells us in John one the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him, And so now the God who had been dwelled in the thick darkness in the Old Testament was made known in the sun.
Saw the Lord could say, believe also in me. And now what he wanted them to know was the heart of God told out and He was the one who had come to reveal it. Believe also in me, but a blessed thing when they laid hold of that. Of course it couldn't be fully till the coming of the Spirit. Their remarks in the chapter show that. But that's what He would have us to know, isn't he? And saw the the precious Savior in this pathway here has revealed the heart of God.
And I think it's important because.
