”If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. 17This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.  18”I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. 19In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.”


Reflect


Do you love Christ? Do you keep His commandments? Or do you struggle with a competing motive?


According to this passage, what is the role of the Holy Spirit in your life?


What commandments is Jesus talking about?

Respond


Show Jesus Christ how much you love Him.


Pray for those who feel like they are alone in this world that we might reach them with the love of Christ so that the movement of God’s mission in the world spreads more wildly.
