John 14:1
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
SUMMARY OF JOHN 14: Belief as a Solace of Troubled Hearts. The House of
Many Mansions. Christ the Way. Christ the Manifestation of the
Father. Asking in Christ's Name. How to Find the Father. The Test of
Love. The Benediction of Peace.
Let not your heart be troubled. Just before him was Gethsemane, the
denial, the mock trial, the scouring and the cross; but with these in
full view, such are the wonders of his love that he does not think of
himself. He does not ask comfort, but he gives it. His heart is full of
the sorrow of his disciples over his departure.
Believe also in me. They had believed in him, but they were so
confused over the prospect of his death and departure, they stumbled.
He bids them to believe in him as they believed in God; to trust him
even if they did not comprehend; to walk by faith rather than by sight
through the darkness of that hour. To understand these words, the
confusion, sorrow and despair of his disciples over his death must not
be forgotten.
