JOHN 14 12-21

 a paraphrased ‘enter the story’

 🍃🕊️reading & study 🕊️🍃

     05/14 - GospeL Verses 

12 - “Truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works I do, and greater works than these they will do, because I’m going to the Father. {Greater works, further reach, and don’t forget during his long second advent.} 13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so - the Father may be glorified - in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

     15 If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments/instructions/sayings. 16 And I’ll ask the Father, and he’ll give you another help [paráklētos - from pará - from close-beside, and kaléō - make the call, properly, a legal advocate who makes the right judgment-call because close enough to the situation, someone giving evidence that stands up in court] to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit {Presence (with us)} of Truth (the Father, who is Life), whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

     18 “I won’t leave you as orphans, but will come to you. {At the end of that age, at Pentecost, and later, as fully present at the culmination of history, this unavoidable, all important contrast, a slow gehenna crucible, entropy/imperfection.} 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you’ll see me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 In that day you’ll know that I’m in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, are those who love me. And those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and I will make myself known to them.”
