Lesson 4566

 (Lesson 4566)(08-04-24) John 16:23-24 

   “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” 

 

  In today’s quote, Jesus assured His disciples that in the future, they would not need to ask Him anything directly because the Holy Spirit would be with them. Instead, they can ask the Father for anything in Jesus' name, and the Holy Spirit would give it to them. Jesus emphasized that up until that point, they had not asked for anything in His name, but now they should do so, promising that their joy would be complete when their requests were fulfilled. “Ask and ye shall receive”, what a glorious promise straight from the mouth of God. ~
