John 14v15-31

Help us to see the Lord Jesus Christ and as we see him to know our heavenly father to know you to trust you to depend upon you and know all of your goodness for us in Jesus name amen so John chapter 14 and verse 15 Jesus is speaking here if you love me keep my commands and I will ask the father and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever the spirit of truth The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him.

But you know him for he lives with you and will be in you.

I will not leave you as orphans.

I will come to you before long.

The world will not see me anymore, but you will see me because I live.

You also will live on that day.

You will realize that I am in my father and you are in me and I am in you.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.

The one who loves me will be loved by my father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

Then Judas, not Judas Iscariot, said, But Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus replied, Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.

My father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching.

These words you hear are not my own.

They belong to the Father who sent me.

All this I have spoken while still with you, but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Peace I leave with you.

My peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

and do not be afraid.

You heard me say I am going away, and I am coming back to you.

If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

I will not say much more to you, for the Prince of this world is coming.

He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father, and do exactly what my Father has commanded me, come now let us leave well there's loads in this but in the last the bit we read in the last part Jesus had said how if you you will do by believing in me greater works than I've been doing because I'm going to the father and then he's given this sort of promise you may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it then we get into the next part and it where he says if you love me keep my commands he talks about giving them the holy spirit what's going on here what are these greater things that they will do greater works than jesus i mean he fed 5 000 he changed water into wine he raised lazarus from the dead well when jesus went up into heaven he told the the disciples to wait in jerusalem and he was going to give them power from on high to be his witnesses He gave them his spirit to help them go out with the good news of Jesus Christ.
