Questions for Study and Meditation

Read John 14:1-4. What connection is Jesus drawing between being troubled and believing in him? What is the Father’s house? What does it mean to say that his house has many “rooms”? What promise did Jesus make to his disciples here?
Read John 14:5-7. What do you think Thomas and the others were feeling as they heard Jesus’ words in verses 1-4? What does it mean to say that Jesus is the way to where he’s going? What does it mean to say that he is the truth and the life? What is relationship between the Father and Jesus?
Read John 14:8-11. Why did Philip (and probably others) still not understand Jesus’ words? Again, what is the relationship between the Father and Jesus? Why did Jesus ask if Philip believed in him? What did Jesus exhort the disciples to do?
What’s the most important thing you learned from the sermon and your personal study?
How has today’s message helped you to grow in love for God and others?
What is the most important thing Jesus would have you do in light of the message?
Take some time to worship Jesus. Thank him, praise him, and ask for his help as you seek to grow with others in faith, hope, and love.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Meditations on the Glory of Christ: He Sits at the Right Hand of God

In Hebrews 1:2-4, the author makes seven claims about Jesus that when taken together greatly exalt his glory. The seventh claim the author makes about the Son is that, having made purification for sins, he now sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high. The words “he sat down” set the stage for chapter 7 where we’re taught that Jesus is both Priest and King. Prior to Jesus, no king offered his own sacrifices and no priest sat on the throne of David, for that wouldn’t be right. God had decreed that there should be a separation of powers between the priest and the king, but Jesus, unlike all before him, is worthy and able to fulfill both roles. So, on the one hand, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God after making purification for sins because the sacrifice he offered, namely himself, is sufficient. Other priests were always standing, as we see in chapter 10:11-14, because their work was never done. The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins, so the priests could...
