“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.”  

James 14:27  

(Galveston, TX)

Jesus replied, 

“All who love me will do what I say. 

My Father will love them, 

and we will come and make our home with each of them. 

…when the Father sends the Advocate 

as my representative—

that is, 

the Holy Spirit—

he will teach you everything 

and will remind you of everything I have told you.

John 14:23, 26

Those who accept my commandments 

and obey them are the ones who love me. 

And because they love me, 

my Father will love them. 

And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”

John 14:21

No, 

I will not abandon you as orphans—

I will come to you.

Soon the world will no longer see me, 

but you will see me. 

Since I live, 

you also will live. 

When I am raised to life again, 

you will know that I am in my Father, 

and you are in me, 

and I am in you.

John 14:18-20

(Galveston, TX)

“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
