Welcome to Day 2160 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John – 28 – Tranquil Words for Troubled Hearts – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 08/14/2022 The Gospel of John – Part 4 Confirmation Of The Word – Tranquil Words For Troubled Hearts   Today we continue our series, the Good News according to John the Apostle. Last week as the Passover meal concluded, Christ reminded the remaining 11 disciples that he would soon be leaving them. With this in mind, He issued them a new command. 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” The truth was finally setting in with the disciples, who were anxious about their futures. After all, they invested the past three and a half years with Jesus, and now he tells them he is leaving, and they can’t come with him. Their minds with blown, and their hearts were crushed. Our scripture for today is John 14:1-24, starting on page 1675 in the pew Bible. Jesus provides Tranquil Words for Troubled Hearts. Follow along as I read. 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
