*PURIFY YOURSELF MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."* (John 15:3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 15:3 emphasizes the cleansing power of His word. He reminds His disciples that they have been purified and cleansed through the words He has spoken to them. This verse highlights the sanctifying effect of Jesus' teachings, which have the power to transform and purify those who receive them.
In this context, Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure and the challenges they will face in the world. He wants to assure them that they have been equipped with the truth and purified by His word, enabling them to remain faithful and fruitful. This verse also looks back to Jesus' earlier teaching on the importance of spiritual cleanliness (John 13:10).
The lesson from this verse is that God's word has the power to cleanse and transform us. As we receive and respond to Jesus' teachings, we experience spiritual purification and growth. This verse encourages us to cherish and obey God's word, recognizing its sanctifying power in our lives. By doing so, we can remain clean and fruitful, even in the midst of a challenging and sinful world.

*ABIDE MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."* (John 15:4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 15:4 emphasizes the vital importance of abiding in Him. He uses the metaphor of a vine and its branches to illustrate the intimate relationship between Himself and His followers. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it remains connected to the vine, believers cannot produce spiritual fruit unless they abide in Jesus.
The phrase "abide in me" suggests a deep and continuous relationship with Jesus. It involves trusting in Him, relying on His strength, and submitting to His will. As believers abide in Jesus, they experience the flow of His life and power, enabling them to bear fruit that glorifies God.
The lesson from this verse is that spiritual fruitfulness and effectiveness are directly tied to our relationship with Jesus. Apart from Him, we can do nothing of lasting value (John 15:5). By abiding in Jesus, we position ourselves to receive His life, guidance, and empowerment, enabling us to bear fruit that honors God and transforms the world around us.

*OBEY MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"If ye love me, keep my commandments."* (John 14:15 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 14:15 is a straightforward challenge to His disciples. He links their love for Him directly to their obedience to His commandments. This verse emphasizes that love for Jesus is not merely an emotional feeling, but a deliberate choice to follow His teachings and obey His commands.
In this context, Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure and the coming of the Holy Spirit. He wants to ensure that they remain faithful to His teachings and continue to bear fruit for the kingdom of God. By keeping His commandments, the disciples demonstrate their love for Jesus and their commitment to living according to His will.
The lesson from this verse is that obedience to God's commands is a fundamental expression of our love for Him. It's not about earning salvation or merit, but about demonstrating our devotion and surrender to His will.
_MEDITATION:_
*As we seek to love Jesus more deeply, we must also strive to keep His commandments, relying on the Holy Spirit's empowerment to guide and transform us.*

*LEARN MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."* (John 14:26 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' promise in John 14:26 is a comforting assurance to His disciples, who were struggling to come to terms with His impending departure. He promised that the Father would send the Holy Spirit, also known as the Comforter, in His name. This divine Helper would provide guidance, teaching, and remembrance of Jesus' words.
The Holy Spirit's role, as described in this verse, is multifaceted. He would "teach you all things," implying that He would provide spiritual understanding and insight. Additionally, He would "bring all things to your remembrance," helping the disciples recall Jesus' teachings and words. This promise is especially significant, given the disciples' limited understanding of Jesus' mission and message at the time.
The lesson from this verse is that believers are not left to navigate the complexities of faith alone. The Holy Spirit is our divine Helper, Teacher, and Reminder. He empowers us to understand and apply God's Word, and He brings to mind the teachings of Jesus, helping us to walk in obedience and faith. As we rely on the Holy Spirit, we can experience the comfort, guidance, and assurance that Jesus promised.

*DO MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Verily, 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."* (John 14:12 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 14:12 is a profound promise to His followers. He assures them that they will not only continue His work but also surpass it. The phrase "the works that I do shall he do also" indicates that believers will be empowered to perform similar miracles and wonders that Jesus did during His ministry.
The phrase "and greater works than these shall he do" is a remarkable assertion. Jesus is saying that His followers will accomplish even greater things than He did. This is not because they are more capable or talented, but because Jesus will be going to the Father, where He will intercede for them and provide them with the necessary power and resources (John 14:13-14, 16-17).
The lesson from this verse is that Jesus' departure to the Father marked the beginning of a new era of ministry, where His followers would be empowered to continue and expand His work. This promise is not limited to the apostles or early Christians but extends to all believers throughout history.
_MEDITATION:_
*As we trust in Jesus and rely on the Holy Spirit, we can expect to accomplish great things for God's kingdom.*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus 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, Shew us the Father?"* (John 14:9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 14:9 was a response to Philip's request, "Shew us the Father" (John 14:8). Philip's request revealed his misunderstanding of Jesus' divine nature and His relationship with the Father. Jesus had been with the disciples for three years, teaching, preaching, and performing miracles, yet Philip still didn't grasp the reality of Jesus' divinity.
Jesus' reply, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father," emphasizes the unity and oneness between the Father and the Son. Jesus was not just a messenger or a prophet; He was the embodiment of the Father's character, love, and wisdom. By seeing Jesus, the disciples had seen the Father, for Jesus was the exact representation of the Father's being (Hebrews 1:3).
The lesson from this verse is that Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God the Father. We don't need to look beyond Jesus to understand God's nature, love, and character. Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection provide a complete and perfect picture of the Father. As we gaze upon Jesus, we behold the Father, and our understanding of God is transformed forever.
_MEDITATION:_
*AS YOU Behold, gaze more into the life of Christ through the word of God, may you encounter Jesus more and more and be transformed into God's likeness like never before.*

*PRAY MORE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."* (John 14:14 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Here are three key lessons from John 14:14:
Lesson 1: The Power of Prayer in Jesus' Name
Jesus' promise in John 14:14 emphasizes the importance of praying in His name. When we pray in Jesus' name, we are acknowledging His authority, power, and mediation. This is not a magical formula, but a genuine expression of our dependence on Him and our alignment with His will.
Lesson 2: The Condition for Answered Prayer
The verse begins with "If ye shall ask," indicating that there is a condition for Jesus to answer our prayers. We must ask in faith, in accordance with God's will, and with the right motives. This condition highlights the importance of aligning our prayers with Scripture and seeking God's glory rather than our own interests.
Lesson 3: The Assurance of Jesus' Response
Jesus' promise, "I will do it," provides assurance that He will respond to our prayers prayed in His name. This assurance is not a guarantee of immediate answers or specific outcomes but rather a confidence that Jesus will work everything out for our good and His glory. As we pray in Jesus' name, we can trust in His sovereign wisdom and timing.
_MEDITATION:_
*AS YOU pray more this year, may your life be an evidence that God answers prayers in Jesus name. Amen*

*Salvation Through Jesus*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."* (John 14:6 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
Jesus' statement in John 14:6 is a profound declaration of His divine identity and role. He asserts, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," emphasizing His exclusive position as the mediator between God and humanity. This affirmation underscores Jesus' unique status as the Son of God, sent to reconcile the world to the Father.
Jesus' claim, "no man cometh unto the Father, but by me," highlights the exclusivity of salvation through Him. This statement eliminates any notion of multiple paths to God or alternative means of salvation. Instead, Jesus presents Himself as the sole gateway to the Father, emphasizing the necessity of faith in Him for eternal life.
The implications of John 14:6 are far-reaching and profound. This verse underscores the centrality of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith, emphasizing that salvation, truth, and eternal life are inextricably linked to Him.
_MEDITATION:_
*As the Way, Truth, and Life, Jesus invites humanity to place their faith in Him, promising that those who do will experience the Father's love, forgiveness, and eternal presence*

*"A Future Home."*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In 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."* (John 14:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
In John 14:2, Jesus comforts His disciples with a promise of a future home in heaven. He describes His Father's house as having "many mansions," indicating a vast and spacious dwelling place. This phrase is often interpreted as a reference to the various rooms or abodes within God's heavenly kingdom, where believers will reside in eternity.
Jesus' statement is not just a vague promise, but a personal assurance that He is actively preparing a place for His followers. The phrase "I go to prepare a place for you" emphasizes Jesus' intentional and loving effort to create a home for those who trust in Him. This preparation involves not only the physical aspect of heaven but also the spiritual and relational aspects of eternal life with God.
The verse also highlights Jesus' transparency and honesty with His disciples. He assures them that if this promise were not true, He would have told them. This statement underscores Jesus' credibility and trustworthiness, reminding believers that they can rely on His words and promises. As Jesus prepares a place for His followers, they can have confidence in His love and provision for their eternal future.
_MEDITATION:_
*Are you one of Jesus' disciples? Are you preparing for the same place Jesus has gone to prepare for you?*
