John 14: 1-20<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

THE SOLITARY WAY
\n<\/u>John 14:1-6 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0 \u201cLet not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2\u00a0 In my Father\u2019s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3\u00a0 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
\n4\u00a0 And you know the way to where I am going.\u201d 5\u00a0 Thomas said to him, \u201cLord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?\u201d
\n6\u00a0 Jesus said to him,
\n\u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.<\/p>\n

Revelation 21:1-3 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
\n2\u00a0 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
\n3\u00a0 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, \u201cBehold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 5:32-33 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n32\u00a0 You shall be careful therefore to do as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
\n33\u00a0 You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.<\/p>\n

Psalm 86:11 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n11\u00a0 Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.<\/p>\n

Psalm 16:11 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n11\u00a0 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE VISIBLE GOD
\n<\/u>John 14:7-11 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n7\u00a0 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.\u201d 8\u00a0 Philip said to him, \u201cLord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.\u201d 9\u00a0 Jesus said to him, \u201cHave I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, \u2018Show us the Father\u2019? 10\u00a0 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11\u00a0 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 1:3 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n3\u00a0 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,<\/p>\n

John 1:1-4 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
\n2\u00a0 He was in the beginning with God.
\n3\u00a0 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
\n4\u00a0 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE WORTHY NAME<\/u>
\n<\/u>John 14:12-14 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n12\u00a0 \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13\u00a0 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14\u00a0 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.<\/p>\n

Acts 5:12-16 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n12\u00a0 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon\u2019s Portico.
\n13\u00a0 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14\u00a0 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,\u00a0 15\u00a0 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16\u00a0 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.<\/p>\n

1 John 5:14-15 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n14\u00a0 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
\n15\u00a0 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE HOLY FRIEND<\/u>
\n<\/u>John 14:15-20 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n15\u00a0 \u201cIf you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16\u00a0 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17\u00a0 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18\u00a0 \u201cI will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19\u00a0 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20\u00a0 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.<\/p>\n
