The Road

14"Don't let this throw you. You trust God, don't you? Trust me.G5015G3361G5216G2588G5015G4100G1519G2316G4100G2532G1519G1691 2There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home. If that weren't so, would I have told you that I'm on my way to get a room ready for you?G1722G3450G3962G3614G1526G4183G3438G1490G302G2036G5213G4198G2090G5117G5213 3And if I'm on my way to get your room ready, I'll come back and get you so you can live where I live.G2532G1437G4198G2532G2090G5117G5213G2064G3825G2532G3880G5209G4314G1683G2443G3699G1473G1510G5210G5600G2532 4And you already know the road I'm taking."G2532G3699G1473G5217G1492G2532G3598G1492 5Thomas said, "Master, we have no idea where you're going. How do you expect us to know the road?"G2381G3004G846G2962G1492G3756G4226G5217G2532G4459G1410G1492G3598 6Jesus said, "I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.G2424G3004G846G1473G1510G3598G2532G225G2532G2222G3762G2064G4314G3962G1508G1223G1700 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You've even seen him!"G1487G1097G3165G302G1097G3450G3962G2532G2532G575G737G1097G846G2532G3708G846 8Philip said, "Master, show us the Father; then we'll be content."G5376G3004G846G2962G1166G2254G3962G2532G714G2254 9"You've been with me all this time, Philip, and you still don't understand? To see me is to see the Father. So how can you ask, 'Where is the Father?'G2424G3004G846G1510G5118G5550G3326G5216G2532G1097G3756G1097G3165G5376G3708G1691G3708G3962G2532G4459G3004G4771G1166G2254G3962 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you aren't mere words. I don't just make them up on my own. The Father who resides in me crafts each word into a divine act.G4100G3756G3754G1473G2076G1722G3962G2532G3962G1722G1698G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2980G3756G575G1683G1161G3962G3306G1722G1698G846G4160G2041 11"Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can't believe that, believe what you see—these works.G4100G3427G3754G1473G1722G3962G2532G3962G1722G1698G1490G4100G3427G1223G846G2041G846 12The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2041G3739G1473G4160G4160G2548G2532G3187G5130G4160G3754G1473G4198G4314G3450G3962 13From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it.G3739G2532G3748G302G154G1722G3450G3686G5124G4160G2443G3962G1392G1722G5207 14Whatever you request in this way, I'll do.G1437G154G5100G1722G3450G3686G1473G4160

The Spirit of Truth

15"If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you.G1437G25G3165G5083G1699G1785 16I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.G2532G1473G2065G3962G2532G1325G5213G243G3875G2443G3306G3326G5216G1519G165 17This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take him in because it doesn't have eyes to see him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!G4151G225G3739G2889G3756G1410G2983G3754G2334G846G3756G3761G1097G846G1161G5210G1097G846G3754G3306G3844G5213G2532G2071G1722G5213 18"I will not leave you orphaned. I'm coming back.G863G3756G863G5209G3737G2064G4314G5209 19In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you're going to see me because I am alive and you're about to come alive.G2089G3397G2532G2889G2334G3165G3765G1161G5210G2334G3165G3754G1473G2198G5210G2198G2532 20At that moment you will know absolutely that I'm in my Father, and you're in me, and I'm in you.G1722G1565G2250G5210G1097G3754G1473G1722G3450G3962G2532G5210G1722G1698G2504G1722G5213 21"The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that's who loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and make myself plain to him."G2192G3450G1785G2532G5083G846G1565G2076G25G3165G1161G25G3165G25G5259G3450G3962G2532G1473G25G846G2532G1718G1683G846 22Judas (not Iscariot) said, "Master, why is it that you are about to make yourself plain to us but not to the world?"G2455G3004G846G3756G2469G2962G5101G1096G3754G3195G1718G4572G2254G2532G3780G2889 23"Because a loveless world," said Jesus, "is a sightless world. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love him—we'll move right into the neighborhood!G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1437G5100G25G3165G5083G3450G3056G2532G3450G3962G25G846G2532G2064G4314G846G2532G4160G3438G3844G846 24Not loving me means not keeping my words. The message you are hearing isn't mine. It's the message of the Father who sent me.G25G3165G3361G5083G3756G3450G3056G2532G3056G3739G191G2076G3756G1699G235G3962G3588G3992G3165 25"I'm telling you these things while I'm still living with you.G5023G2980G5213G3306G3844G5213 26The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you.G1161G3875G40G4151G3739G3962G3992G1722G3450G3686G1565G1321G5209G3956G2532G5279G3956G5279G5209G5279G3739G2036G5213 27I'm leaving you well and whole. That's my parting gift to you. Peace. I don't leave you the way you're used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don't be upset. Don't be distraught.G1515G863G5213G1699G1515G1325G5213G3756G2531G2889G1325G1325G1473G5213G5015G3361G5216G2588G5015G3366G1168 28"You've heard me tell you, 'I'm going away, and I'm coming back.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I'm on my way to the Father because the Father is the goal and purpose of my life.G191G3754G1473G2036G5213G5217G2532G2064G4314G5209G1487G25G3165G302G5463G3754G2036G4198G4314G3962G3754G3450G3962G2076G3187G3450 29"I've told you this ahead of time, before it happens, so that when it does happen, the confirmation will deepen your belief in me.G2532G3568G2046G5213G4250G1096G2443G3752G1096G4100 30I'll not be talking with you much more like this because the chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don't worry—he has nothing on me, no claim on me.G3765G2980G3765G2980G4183G3326G5216G1063G758G5127G2889G2064G2532G2192G3756G3762G1722G1698 31But so the world might know how thoroughly I love the Father, I am carrying out my Father's instructions right down to the last detail. "Get up. Let's go. It's time to leave here.G235G2443G2889G1097G3754G25G3962G2532G2531G3962G1781G3427G1781G3779G4160G1453G71G1782
