John 14:15-31.
John 14:15-31 (GNT)
15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you
forever. 17 He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The
world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But
you know him, because he remains with you and is in you. 18 When I go,
you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. 19 In a
little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and
because I live, you also will live. 20 When that day comes, you will
know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in
you. 21 "Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones
who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love
them and reveal myself to them." 22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said,
"Lord, how can it be that you will reveal yourself to us and not to
the world?" 23 Jesus answered him, Those who love me will obey my
teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to
them and live with them. 24 Those who do not love me do not obey my
teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from
the Father, who sent me. 25 I have told you this while I am still with
you. 26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my
name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have
told you. 27 Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I
give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and
upset; do not be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, "I am leaving,
but I will come back to you." If you loved me, you would be glad that
I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I. 29 I have told you
this now before it all happens, so that when it does happen, you will
believe. 30 I cannot talk with you much longer, because the ruler of
this world is coming. He has no power over me, 31 but the world must
know that I love the Father; that is why I do everything as he
commands me. Come, let us go from this place."
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.
