Preparation for Wednesday July 29th

Continue to read John chapter 14 as often as you can.  You will discover both great truths, and generate many questions.  

We will continue to reinforce this week  the fact that from verse 6 on, Jesus is progressively unfolding the Christian Life.  It is not too far removed from, "in order to be my disciple you have to take up your cross daily. . ."  Here are a couple of things to ponder:

1)  What two things should have already made it clear to Phillip that when he saw the Son, he was seeing the Father?

2)  What claim does Jesus make in verse 10 that parallels vs 17 and Col 1:27?

3)  How do you sort out the many references to loving Christ and being obedient?  (And the blessings promised for doing so?)  Is this a requirement for salvation?  For something else?  

See you on Wednesday,

Kevin
