John 14:1-14.
John 14:1-14.
1 "Do not be worried and upset," Jesus told them. Believe in God and
believe also in me. 2 There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I
am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it
were not so. 3 And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. 4 You
know the way that leads to the place where I am going. " 5 Thomas said
to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know
the way to get there?" 6 Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. 7 Now that you
have known me, " he said to them, "you will know my Father also, and
from now on you do know him and you have seen him. " 8 Philip said to
him, "Lord, show us the Father; that is all we need." 9 Jesus
answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not
know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then,
do you say, "Show us the Father"? 10 Do you not believe, Philip, that
I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have
spoken to you, " Jesus said to his disciples, "do not come from me.
The Father, who remains in me, does his own work. 11 Believe me when I
say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. If not, believe
because of the things I do. 12 I am telling you the truth: those who
believe in me will do what I do—yes, they will do even greater things,
because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask
for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the
Son. 14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
