Love Him

John 14:1-24

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
⁵ Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
⁷ “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
⁸ Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.





Our Lord asks us in verse one to let our hearts not be troubled.  Do not trouble yourself wondering if our Lord and God are here, just believe.  We must only suit up, and show up, then launch out on faith, prayer, honesty, and love, giving of what we can in word and deed, believing God would not tell us a lie.  And He doesn't.  He tells us in His word our spirits are willing but our flesh is weak.  This fight is mind over matter, always holding to the truth that God has a bigger plan for our lives than we do.  Jesus Christ says we know the way to life everlasting but will we answer His call?  To fulfill our call to Christ the fruits of our bible must be implemented in our lives and worked.  There is no other way.  We must become serious about our life wanting real joy, love, and a peace that surpasses all understanding.  God does not play.  He says His word is good yesterday, today and forever.  We on the other hand take this world for a playground where we can do as we will, say what we want when we want and how we want.  Our words are tearing down our lives, each other, and God's plan by not being trained.  Our Lord says in verses 19-23 we will see Him and know He is right here with us if we'll keep His commandments.  He is not speaking of judgment day when the sky will open and most our world will drop to their knees asking for forgiveness.  No, the Lord is speaking of right now when we open our hearts, minds, and souls to Him so He can see we mean business.  He and Father God want to make themselves present in our lives today as verse 23 speaks and I have witnessed.  Jesus said, if anyone loves me he will keep His commandment as He kept it to Father God all the way to the cross.  We must stir up the gift of love that is inside of us and spread it in the kingdom of God to be blessed.  He wants to see us into our ordained lives given to us before the world began.  Our Lord is not speaking of judgment day but today, to give us love, joy, and an inheritance that was swore to our forefathers.  Love Him. 



Blessings to all as we love the king,
