“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 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,

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.”

Blessings of Developing a Personal Relationship With Jesus
Jesus shouted to the crowds,
“If you trust me,
you are trusting not only me,
but also God who sent me.
For when you see me,
you are seeing the one who sent me.
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,
so that all who put their trust in me
will no longer remain in the dark.
I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me,
for I have come to save the world and not to judge it.
But all who reject me and my message
will be judged on the day of judgment
by the truth I have spoken.

Then Jesus told them,

when Satan,
the ruler of this world,
will be cast out.
And when I am lifted up from the earth,
I will draw everyone to myself.”

And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.
