Read John 14:1–31
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me." John 14:1 NKJV
* * *
The disciples still did not quite understand the clues Jesus
had given of His coming death and resurrection. Thomas questioned Him about
where He was going, and would not fully comprehend until after it took
place.
Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and it
is sufficient for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet
you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father…"
(14:8–9)
Then He promised, "I will pray the Father, and He will
give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever– the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;
but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
(14:16-17)

God the Father would send His Holy Spirit not only to dwell
with them, but in them. The Holy Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit
– all working together to abide in us forever. Thank You Lord for this
incomparable truth –"Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27 NKJV)

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as
the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid." John 14:27 NKJV
