You will grieve,
but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.
It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor.
When her child is born,
her anguish gives way to joy
because she has brought a new baby into the world.
So you have sorrow now,
but I will see you again;
then you will rejoice,
and no one can rob you of that joy.
John 16:20-22
“I am the true grapevine,
and my Father is the gardener.
“Yes,
I am the vine;
you are the branches.
Those who remain in me,
and I in them,
will produce much fruit.
For apart from me you can do nothing.
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you,
you may ask for anything you want,
and it will be granted!“
John 15:1, 5, 7
“I am leaving you with a gift—
peace of mind and heart.
And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.
So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Remember what I told you:
I am going away,
but I will come back to you again…”
John 14:27-28
“If you love me,
obey my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate,
who will never leave you.
He is the Holy Spirit,
who leads into all truth.
The world cannot receive him,
because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him.
But you know him,
because he lives with you now and later will be in you.”
John 14:15-17
“Praise God for the Son of David!
Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Praise God in highest heaven!
The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered.
“Who is this?”
they asked.
And the crowds replied,
“It’s Jesus,
the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Matthew 21:9-11
“I tell you the truth,
anyone who believes in me
will do the same works I have done,
and even greater works,
because I am going to be with the Father.
You can ask for anything in my name,
and I will do it,
so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
Yes,
ask me for anything in my name,
and I will do it!”
John 14:12-14
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me?
The words I speak are not my own,
but my Father who lives in me
does his work through me.
Just believe…
John 14:10-11
Jesus told him,
“I am the way,
the truth,
and the life.
No one can come to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God,
and trust also in me.
There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.
If this were not so,
would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you?
When everything is ready,
I will come and get you,
so that you will always be with me where I am.
And you know the way to where I am going.”
John 14:1-4
So now I am giving you a new commandment:
Love each other.
Just as I have loved you,
you should love each other.
Your love for one another will prove to the world
that you are my disciples.”
John 13:34-35
