Sunday Sermon | Christ's Commitment to His People While Awaiting His Return | John | Part 22

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on the Gospel of John. John 14:8-24. As we look at this gospel, and in the book of Acts, we can marvel how people missed Jesus as the messiah. No one can identify Jesus on their own - only God can open our eyes to the truths of Christ. The spiritual realities of our conversion is recorded clearly in scripture: man doesn’t find God, God finds man. No one can come unless the Father draws him. Chapter 14 has an idea of comfort, in the way Isaiah cried out “Comfort my people”, directly associated with the Messiah, with the greatest of all needs of mankind. We also see the introduction of the Holy Spirit as helper and the concept of prayer. Jesus tries to help His disciples understand that something better was coming than Jesus being with them physically. He was going to the Father to involve Himself in another aspect of the spiritual warfare on earth but was leaving with them the Holy Spirit.
