Week of May 9, 2010, John 14:23-27
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from the Gospel of John, chapter 14, here using verses 23 to 27. Jesus is speaking to his disciples for the last time, the night before he is crucified.
23Jesus 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. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Heavenly Father, again we praise and thank You. We come before You with thanksgiving for Your Son, Jesus, who died on the cross for each of us, who was raised in power and glory.
Jesus, help us to love You more fully, to respond to Your love, to obey Your teachings. We welcome You into our hearts, abiding with us, making Your home with each of us.
Holy Spirit, be our Counselor, be our Teacher, and remind us of the power and promises of the Words of Jesus to the disciples, the Words of Jesus to each one of us.
We thank You, Jesus, for the peace that You give each of us, the promise of Your abiding presence with us that eases our anxiousness and takes away our fears. Thanks for Your love, Your joy, Your strength through each day of our lives. Amen.
May the love of the Lord Jesus draw us to Himself;
May the power of the Lord Jesus strengthen us in His service;
May the joy of the Lord Jesus fill our souls;
May the fire of the Holy Spirit bring comfort to you, guide you in your decisions, and fill you
with a fervent desire to serve Him better.
And may the blessing of the almighty and most merciful God - Creator, Word and eternal Holy Spirit - be upon us and remain with us always.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
