Observations – John 14:15-24
15 “If
you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He
will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;
but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you
orphans; I will come to you. 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no
more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will
know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My
commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will
be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” 22 Judas
(not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and
not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will
keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the
word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

Applications
1. You ‘say’ I love You to Jesus/God when you obey His
words. Are you saying I love You to Jesus? If not, what is
one thing Jesus said that you are not doing? Do it.
2. You have a Helper in the indwelling Holy Spirit. Let Him
help and give you comfort.
3. You have Jesus’ promise that He will not leave you, that
He will come to you and that the Holy Spirit He sent will
be forever.
4. If you want to know Jesus better, the key is to obey His
word. He will show Himself to those who obey Him.
5. Our motivation to obey is to please God and express love
to Him. It is not just a duty. Christian obedience is not
about rules and regulations, it comes from the heart.
