GOSPEL
Many
things cause us to worry in life. How many of them should have this
power? None of them! What is there to worry about when our faith is in
Jesus? What is there to worry about when we know that He has died for
our sins and risen in order to offer us the gift of eternal life? At the
very worst, we die today, and if we have faith even that is the path to
eternal life.
John 14:7-14
7 Jesus
said to his disciples: “If you know me, then you will also know my
Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said to Jesus, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus
said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do
not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can
you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do
you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The
words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who
dwells in me is doing his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. 12 Amen,
amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may
be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
Think: What is there to worry about when our faith is in Jesus?
