John 14 ~ Glorified in the Son

 

John 14

"Let not your hearts be troubled.

Believe in God; believe also in Me.

2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going."

5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, 

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."

8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

 9 Jesus said to him, 

"Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know Me, Philip? Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The Words that I say to you I do not speak on My own authority, but the Father Who dwells in me does His Works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, or else believe on account of the Works themselves. 12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

13 Whatever you ask in My Name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything in My Name, I will do it.



15 "If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me.
And he who loves me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

 23 Jesus answered him, 

"If anyone loves me, he will keep My Word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our Home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the Word that you hear is not Mine but the Father's Who sent me.

25 "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

28 You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.

Rise, let us go from here.

Eternity is today. 

And our Home is going to be Heaven, God's House, God's Kingdom where God is Ancient of Days and we have no end.

What would we see today bringing more Heaven to earth?  

Our Lord's Prayer still working.

"The Pew Report" has studied the religious landscape, finding 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christian. While down from 78% in 2007. However, the multi-year decline of Christianity in the United States has slowed 

and largely stabilized, 

holding steady. 

48% of Americans say they have lived a miracle only answered by God. 38% say they have seen visual healing only coming from a miracle answered by God.

"The Pew Report" had massive retirements during Covid. And became an entirely new set of researchers. Since the last broad elections, we find "Polls Have Holes." And The Pew Report has entirely missed a new and exciting set of Good News.

The Barns Group

Younger adults—including Millennials (Generation Y) and Generation Z—showing renewed interest in structured faith, traditional liturgy, and foundational Christian values as a counterweight to modern societal fragmentation.

Drivers of Traditional Faith Interest

Search for Stability: Increasing cultural and digital noise prompts a segment of younger generations to seek historical depth, permanence, and clear moral guardrails.

Appeal of Liturgy: Traditional expressions of faith—such as liturgical, historic, and sacramental practices found in Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and traditional Protestant settings—draw interest for offering fixed structure over modern stylistic reinvention.

Community and Identity: 

Structured environments provide defined roles, family-centric models, and intergenerational connection that contrast with secular individualism.

Nuances and Divergent Trends Pluralism vs. Orthodoxy: 

While data from groups like the Barna Group highlights rising commitment indices among some young adults, other sociological studies show broad segments of Millennials retain individualized or non-institutional spiritual definitions rather than orthodox adherence.

Gender Dynamics:

Shifts in religious engagement display varied patterns across demographics, with certain traditional spaces experiencing distinct engagement trends among young men seeking defined community frameworks.

Jesus tells us He goes to prepare a Place for us.

 Paul tells us there are levels of Heaven. Ephesians tells us families live together in Heaven and are named by God. 

We hear we will see Abraham sit at table with Jacob. The two men did not live in the same generation. God is blending all life to have life and live together. Matthew 22:32 and all  Scriptures we see this.

Like Abraham

and

The Transfiguration

We see young people joining 

All

The Generations

This is

indeed

More Heaven

John 1:4,5 

In Him was Life, 

and 

The Life 

was the 

Light of men. 

 The Light 

shines in the darkness, 

and 

the darkness 

has not overcome it.

The Lord to bless us 

and ALL our family with health

given to us by our great, grand, and parents.

Your Will and Peace

as the little baby has colic fairly intensely.

And slept through the night.

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

1 Peter 3:15

In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as Holy,

always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect

We can do absolutely nothing about Massachusetts killing babies. We can moan and cry and do absolutely nothing. And those babies will die badly. Or we can find life and grace. Blessing the great and grand and parents to find Love has made a path straight forward. 

Life for preborn children. Human Beings. Babies.  Hoping for love and warmth to give and receive.  So many willing hearts and homes. Valid Adoption Agencies.  Hope for the biological mother, instead of a life of sadness.

Ezekiel 36:20-28 ~ And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God

Darius returned the Jews

and many of the stolen slaves

to their ancestral home

Darius mosiac near

Darius' tomb.

Ezekiel 36:20-28

When they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned My Holy Name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of His land.’ 21 But I had concern for My Holy Name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.

22 “Therefore say to the House of Israel, 

Thus says the Lord God: 

It is not for your sake, O House of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of My Holy Name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 And I will vindicate the Holiness of My Great Name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. 

And the nations will know that I am the Lord, 
declares the Lord God, 

When through you I vindicate My Holiness before their eyes. 

24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God."

2 Peter 1:5-8 

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of 

our Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 40:31 

They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; 

they shall walk and not faint.

Ezekiel was a very grieved, middle-aged widower, grappling with his wife's illness and passing. Then Ezekiel and the prisoners walked 1,000 miles from war-torn Jerusalem. With all he knew,  with all of it, on fire, then going all the way to Babylon on foot. And Ezekiel then led all the Children of Israel for the first time.  He must have really have had Help, Helper, Comfort, Comforter of the Holy Spirit. He had enough zeal and energy to tell The People of God how things really are and work or don't work.

Daniel was in a horde of young slave men as he walked the 1,000 miles. This is an acknowledgment, soon after the 1,000-mile walk, he could be worked to death.  Walking that far, understanding chain gang slavery and possible starvation, without shelter.  And then finding the favor of God upon his education and placement, to still have all the integrity and moxie to lead those around him in Truth.

This  1,000-mile march started on March 9, 597 B.C., known from cuneiform Babylonian history.

In 300 BC, Septuagint writers in Alexandria, Egypt, could write word for word the History of the Babylonian Captivity in Ezekiel and Daniel.

Acts 4:30 

29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak Your Word with all boldness, 30 while You stretch out Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the Word of God with boldness.

After the Biblical 70 Years

told to Jeremiah

The exiles were returning to Jerusalem

and Judea.

Darius was the 4th emperor to promise to

release the prisoners. 

And the first Emperor to give

Freedom.

Psalm 77:14

You are the God who works wonders; 

You have made known 

Your Might 

among the peoples

Abba, Father

Isaiah 41:10 

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;

 I will strengthen you, I will help you,

 I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Hebrews 10:35-36

Therefore 

Do Not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 

For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
