John 16:25-31
Jesus Was Sent From God
25 "Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."
29 Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."
31"You believe at last!" Jesus answered. 32 "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
Jesus is sitting with His Disciples teaching them...Jesus mentions that soon He will talk plainly about the Father...He mentions to the disciples many things about the Father...The Father LOVES them because they love Jesus...
Jesus also tells His Disciples that He came from the Father and that He would be going back to His Father...There is no mistake about this, Jesus came from the Father and is going back to the Father...
The Disciples will scatter when He is arrested, but for now they believe at last...They would gather themselves after His resurrection, and believe again...Jesus was sent from God, to teach His Disciples and to teach us about Himself and God...And if you are a believer and believe that Jesus does not lie, then He came from heaven and was sent by God...
Sometimes it takes awhile for belief to set in with all of us...Sometimes it takes me awhile to understand things...The Disciples were with Jesus for three years and it took this long for them to believe that He came from God...So take heart, be patient, and very persistent...And remember Jesus overcame our world and was resurrected from His death and back to life...Death was overcome by Jesus, and He is now back with His Father, living an eternal life...
