Jesus comforts His disciples
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
To love Jesus is to
demonstrate
that we lay down
our own will
and obey him just
as he obeyed his Father
Holy Scripture teaches:
20 My intercessor is my friend
21 on behalf of a man he pleads with God
as one pleads for a friend
Job 16: 20-21
Once we choose to obey Jesus,
the Holy Spirit
comes to us
and helps us to come
to the Father
through Jesus
