b'Some Christians have misinterpreted that Jesus is the \\u201cnew\\u201d God who will rule out the \\u201cOld Testament God.\\u201d That\\u2019s not what is happening here. But this gospel tells us that Jesus is the image of God and that we see God through Jesus\\u2026 and Jesus brought receipts! In this episode, we explore what his message means for us today, too.\\nRead the transcript (PDF)\\nToday we talk about:\\n\\nSkepticism about God, Jesus or Christianity\\nHow we need to take action and be a community to answer the call of Christian faith\\nThe Holy Spirit and how it is continuously moving. More of that here\\nJesus calling unto his followers\\xa0to do bigger and better things\\nHow LGBTQ Christians and Christians in general, are sometimes afraid to do the wrong thing and what Jesus has comforted us with\\n\\nJohn 14:8-17, 25-27\\nPhilip said, \\u201cLord, show us the Father; that will be enough for us.\\nJesus replied, \\u201cDon\\u2019t you know me, Philip, even after I have been with you all this time? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, \\u2018Show us the Father\\u2019? Don\\u2019t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I have spoken to you I don\\u2019t speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me does his works. Trust me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or at least believe on account of the works themselves. I assure you that whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. They will do even greater works than these because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father can be glorified in the Son. When you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.\\n\\u201cIf you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever. This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can\\u2019t receive because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you.\\n\\u201cI have spoken these things to you while I am with you. The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you.\\n\\u201cPeace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I give to you not as the world gives. Don\\u2019t be troubled or afraid.\\u201d\\nPhoto by\\xa0Patrick Tomasso\\nThe post Jesus Brought Receipts, You Can Too \\u2013 John 14:8-17, 25-27 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
