Jesus Replied,
”If Anyone Loves Me,
He Will Obey My Teaching.
My Father Will Love Him,
And We Will Come To Him
And Make Our Home With Him.”
JOHN 14:23
Thoughts About This Verse . . .
At many Christian Funerals,
the Preacher Emphasizes
how Jesus Has Left to Make a Place Ready For Us
to Join Him in Heaven.
Then He Is going to Come Back For Us.
But just a Few Verses Later,
Jesus Adds this Promise.
He’s Telling Us
that Until We Can Come Be With Him
at His Place,
He Will Come Live With Us
Here In Our hearts.
It all hinges on one thing,
Our Willingness to Obey Him.
Not a bad Deal, is it.
So let’s not let Obedience
Be a Forgotten Word in Our Lifestyle!
MY PRAYER . . .
Holy God,
I know Jesus Came to Earth
and Obeyed Your Will.
Give me Discernment that my Obedience
will not simply be the Obedience of Your Words,
but will also be the Obedience of Your Will.
I long to Honor You
because You Have Done so Much to Save Me.
Thank You.
Through Jesus I Pray.
Amen.
