John 16:25-33

[25] “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. [26] In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. [27] No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. [28] I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

[29] Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. [30] Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”

[31] “Do you now believe?”Jesus replied. [32] “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.

[33] “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Notes Outline

1. The Love of the Father

   1. John 16:25-27

2. The Love of the Son

   1. John 16:28-32

      1. When we become enamored and besotted with the things around us, we are saying, “I do not believe I am eternal.”

      2. “But in contentment I still feel the need of some imperishable bliss.”

3. The Peace This Love Brings

   1. John 16:33

      1. We tend to realize that Jesus is all we need when we are at the point that Jesus is all we got!
