🍃🕊️11/13 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️
[Jesus continues, on the eve of his crucifixion.] 12 - “Truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do. And greater [megas - large, great, in the - widest - sense] works than these they will do, because I’m going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name [onoma - name, authority, cause] I’ll do it, this is so the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name [authority, cause] I will do it.
15 If you love me, you’ll keep my instructions. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, this one to be with you to the age, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it doesn’t see him nor know him. You know him. For he dwells with you, and, will be in you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans, but will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will no longer see me, but you’ll see me. And because I live, you will live also. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my instructions and keeps them, it is they who love me (Mt.25:10). And they who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and make myself known to them.”
{Best way to know Jesus and the Father - is to follow Jesus’ instructions. “Love God.” One rule, because when genuine, the second is also, and the fruit includes moderation and faithfulness. Also genuine humility, inclusiveness, unity, and a temperate ‘tongue’.}
