John quotes Jesus as saying: “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you." Quoted from the English Standard Version of the Bible. Do you remember the first time some words in your Bible came alive for you? For me, it was when I was nine or ten. The words were: "Whatever you ask the Father in my name, that will I do that the Father might be glorified through the Son." I got very excited when I read those words. I've never forgotten them or that moment. Share your moments with God's Word with us here. A Personal Admission ▼ |
ruwth shares this: "Whatever you ask the Father in my name, that will I do that the Father might be glorified through the Son." I got very excited the first time I read those words. They sounded too good to be true. Now, I continue to learn what it means to ask in His Name. This comment was posted on Jun 19, 2016 at 2:29pm.
