SEVEN MORNING GLORIES
John 14:2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
(1) FUTURE HOME
John 14:2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
God has room for all who will come to him
Christ did not say homes but mansions
He’s there making preparation for us
God can never lie its waiting for you and I.
(2) REUNION
John 14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
His promise he’s coming back
Personal reception
We can and will live where he is
We can count on this
(3) ACHIEVEMENTS
John 14:12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Christ has fulfilled the works of the father
We that believe can do greater works
Because he has gone to his father for us
(4) RESOURCES
John 14:13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Unlimited in the things we need
Ask receive
The son must glorified the father by his work in us
Stop complaining and start asking
(5) COMPANIONSHIP
John 14:16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
He is always there with us
The Holy Spirit is here now to comforter us
To protect us
To fill our needs
What a gift amen
(6) LEGACY
John 14:27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Claim that peace
It’s a gift of the father to you
It’s a gift you will never loose like worldly gifts
Place your troubles in the masters hand
Don’t be afraid remember he is in control
Quit whining and look to the master
(7) JOY
John 14 :28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
He is coming again amen
He is making ready for us
He went to the top Father
Greater than all
If we love him we would shout
Rejoice and be glad
