Lesson 4567

 (Lesson 4567)(08-05-24) John 16:25-28 

   “These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” 

 

   In today’s quote, Jesus explained that He had been speaking to His disciples in figurative language, but a time was soon to come when He would speak to them plainly about the Father. He told them that they would pray to the Father in His name, and that the Father would grant their requests because He loved them and they had believed that Jesus came from God. Jesus concluded by affirming that He came from the Father into the world and is now leaving the world to return to the Father. ~
