John 14:1-14:11

In My Father's House

This message begins with some insights into Judas, Jesus? betrayer, followed by Peter?s question of where Jesus is going. Jesus? answer begins with belief; ?Believe in God, believe also in me.? Jesus makes himself key to their destiny and speaks of the place to which he is going and the future place he prepares. Pastor Lloyd compares this to a wedding proposal and a bride who waits for her groom while everything is being prepared.

  1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye 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 unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
  4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
  5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
  6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
  7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
  8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
  9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
  10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
  11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
