  3. Knowing Jesus is Knowing the Father John 14:7-9 Having an experiential knowledge of Jesus will result in the same kind of relationship with the Father Philip is confused, but his desire to know the Father and that it would be enough is to be commended

  4. Knowing Jesus is Knowing the Father John 14:7-9 Jesus replies to Philip specifically, but then addresses all of them They have been with Jesus a long time, but He gives 2 reasons to believe that to see Him is to see the Father

  5. Believe Because of His WordsJohn 14:10 The things Jesus has said prove that He reveals the Father who abides in Him Jesus had taught this about His teaching before: John 3:32; 7:16; 8:28, 40; John 12:49 Everything Jesus said was in reality communication from God the Father

  6. Believe Because of His WordsJohn 14:10 God has also communicated to us through the apostles (Eph. 2:20; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 3:2; Jude 1:17) What Jesus said always matched what was already known of God - false teachers will contradict

  7. Believe Because of His WordsJohn 14:10 Jesus’ disciples and His enemies recognized Jesus’ teaching was not human (John 6:68; Matt. 7:49, 22:16)

  8. Believe Because of His WorksJohn 14:11 Jesus had taught that His works were testimony to the Father in Him before: John 5:19, 36; 10:25, 37-38 It was not just the miracles themselves for Satan and false teachers are deceptive - 2 Thess. 2:9; Matt. 24:24

  9. Believe Because of His WorksJohn 14:11 It was the type and nature of Jesus’ miracles - John 3:2; 7:31; 9:1-38 Jesus’ words & works prove His claim those who have seen Him have seen the Father

  10. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 The ability to be used by God is based in the Father working through the Son & that person’s belief in Jesus Believers do not do the work on their own - It is Jesus at work in and through you

  11. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 Jesus is the model of what His disciples will accomplish in greater scope and breadth - not miracles Jesus’ preaching to the Jews with some exception while His disciples went to remote parts of the earth

  12. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 The “greater works” they would do was because Jesus was with the Father as their intercessor (Heb. 7:25)

  13. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 Praying in “Jesus’ name” (verse 14) does not obligate God Context - verse 13: Jesus will only do that in which “the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Context - verse 15: Those that love Jesus will keep His commandments

  14. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 To pray in “Jesus’ name” is to pray in agreement with His character and desires Using the phrase, “in Jesus’ name,” as an incantation is practicing a form of sorcery

  15. The Father Works Through the Son & His People - John 14:12-15 The Spirit intercedes without words when we cannot pray as we should - Romans 8:26-27 Proper prayer seeks God’s will and is according to it (1 John 5:14-15), without selfish desires (James 4:2-3)

  16. The Coming of the SpiritJohn 14:16-17 The Holy Spirit is true and leads people to truth and comes from the Father sent at the Son’s request The Holy Spirit is full deity, the third person of the eternal triune Godhead He is sent as another (a[lloς / allos) helper of the same kind as Jesus

  17. The Coming of the SpiritJohn 14:16-17 He is the helper, paravklhatoV / paraklātos, who comes alongside to assist The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, is only available to those that will follow Jesus, who is the truth

  18. Conclusions Jesus comforted His disciples concerning His soon departure They could believe / trust Him as they did the Father for the Father was in Him Jesus was going away to prepare a place for them and would come again to get them and take them there

  19. Conclusions Jesus’ words and works proved His relationship with the Father Jesus would intercede with the Father for them, so they could pray with confidence Jesus would send the Holy Spirit to help them
