Lesson 4558

 (Lesson 4558)(07-26-24) John 14:28-31 

   “Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.” 

 

   In today’s quote, Jesus reminded His disciples that He had told them He is going away and that He would come back to them. He said that if they loved Him, they would be glad He was going to the Father. He explained that He was telling them that then before it happened, so that when it did happen, they would believe. Jesus also mentioned that He would not talk much longer with them because the prince of this world (Satan) was coming. However, He assured them that the Satan has no power over Him, and that He does as the Father commanded so that the world may know that He loves the Father. Finally, He then told His disciples to arise and follow Him. Jesus knew the fate that lay before Him. What a wonderful Savior we serve! ~
