Sub-titled, "The Heavenly Highway Proclaimed". This message is about the well-known words of immense comfort from the Lord Jesus on a night when He should have been receiving words of comfort from His men, for He told them He was going to be betrayed and killed. Instead, He was selflessly concerned for them and how they were going to need to remember the things He was telling them to strengthen their faith for all that lay ahead for them in the days, weeks, and years to follow. These words have helped millions of Christians go through all manner of troublesome times. They are words of truth about our sure future with the One Who is even now preparing dwelling places for all who belong to Him, where we will enjoy fellowship with Him forever.

Sub-titled, "The Heavenly Home Promised". The number one "destroyer" of Christians is heart trouble caused by anxiety and stress. Anxiety is a killer. That is why the Great Physician spoke soothing, "medicinal" words of His very anxious men on the night of His betrayal and arrest. He ministered to their great mental and spiritual needs with words that began with, "Let not your heart be troubled"!

The great, comforting words of Christ in John 14:1-6 have brought immense comfort to Christians in times of trouble and bereavement throughout the Church Age. We study them in detail in this two-part study (see also Lesson 149b), for they are worth knowing to the depth of our souls. If you are anxious about living in these troublesome times, take these verses and hide them in your heart! They will help you remember the fact that Christ Jesus is in complete control of every aspect of your life. He cares for you from head to toe. He will never leave you nor forsake you even though you can't see Him!

Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:31-38; John 13:36-38

After Judas was dismissed from the Upper Room, Jesus immediately spoke of the glory He and His Father would receive because of the cross. For the first time, He called His disciples "little children," and told them He was going to leave them and where He was going they could not come. Following a question from Peter, who was perplexed about something Christ said, Jesus gave some shocking "Predictions Regarding the Disciples' Deeds". Those predictions include His separation from them, Satan's sifting, the sheep scattering, and Simon's (Peter's) shame (he would deny Christ three times before the cock crow in the morning). In the second part of this lesson, we discuss "Predictions Regarding the Disciples' Needs".
