5)But now I go my way to
him that sent me; and none
of you asketh me, whither
goest thou?
6)But because I have said
these things unto you,
sorrow hath filled your
hearts
7)Nevertheless I tell you
the truth; it is expedient for
you that I go away; for if I go
not away the Comforter will
not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto
you
|
BUT NOW I GO MY WAY TO
HIM THAT SENT ME
JESUS said, now I am about
to die and leave you, and to
go to Him that sent Me, as
one who has discharge His
duty committed to Him on
earth to save mankind, it is
proper to announce all
these things to you, though
I did not tell you these from
the beginning when I chose
for many reason, you
people as My disciples, lest
you should have been
discouraged, but now is
necessary to tell you that I
must die, but shall rise again
from the dead, and go to
My FATHER who sent Me
into the world to finish the
work, which I now have
done and so Am returning
from where I Came from ,
these word seem to belong
to JOHN 16:1-4 and to
contain a reason why
CHRIST spoke of the trials
and affliction of His disciples
now, because he was going
away from them to His
FATHER; when they would
be in charge of the affairs in
the world, so they would
the more become the rage
of men
NONE OF YOU ASK ME
WHERE I GO
And though indeed some
of you have cursorily asked
me where I go as Peter
indeed ask the question
JOHN 13:36 but his
meaning was, what part of
the country He was going ?
what private and
inaccessible place he was
about to take Himself to? he
had no notion of His going
out of the world, or to
heaven to His FATHER’S
house, to prepare a place
mansions for them, they did
not seem to understand and
Thomas JOHN 14:1-5 yet
None of seems to
understand or seriously as
you ought to inquire , out of
love for Me ask about the
place where I am going,
BUT BECAUSE I HAVE SAID
THESE THINGS UNTO YOU
they gave themselves up to
grief instead of inquiring
why them, had they made
the inquire, He was ready to
answer them and to
comfort them, since all
along you are taking the
gloomy side , and looking on
the anguish of My
departure and harshness of
your own condition, instead
of the splendor of the new
kingdom and dispensation
of which you will be
witness.
The believer must expect
persecution, he must
remember that JESUS
foretold that he would be
persecuted, keep the
believer from being caught
off guard and stumbling,
ridiculed, criticized,
opposed, questioned,
abused attacked, slandered
tortured and imprisoned,
the believer must know
that GOD exists and that
JESUS reigns, that they will
face troubles and
persecutions in the world,
now, as He prepared to
leave this world, He was
revealing more to them and
giving them a fuller
revelation
SORROW HATH FILLED YOU
HEART
But because I have said
these things to you, of being
hated and persecuted by
the Jews of being put out of
their Synagogues, and of
losing of their lives; and
particularly of His departure
from them or the loss of His
bodily presence,
The thought of their
separation from Him and
the dark future which lay
before them, so filled their
hearts, seized on all the
power of their soul and
engrossed all their thoughts
that it left room for thought
of Him, they were looking
only at their own loss of His
absence instead of at His
gain, from His death,
resurrection and ascension
of My future glory and
your consolation
NEVERTHELESS, I TELL YOU
THE TRUTH
JESUS said it is for the
disciples , believers good
and profit that He is going
away, but nevertheless I tell
you the truth, I who see the
whole end ,tell you, it is for
the deep sorrow which has
filled your hearts, it is to
your advantage and
profitable and not to your
loss that I go away, the
withdrawal of the bodily
presence of CHRIST was
essential condition of His
universal spiritual presence
His bodily presence could be
only in one place at a one
time but His Spirit is
everywhere, in every places,
that by His departure, His
death and ascension, they
will be led by the Spirit, it
was the office of the Spirit
to carry forward the work
only when the Savior had
died and ascended ,
Now the death of CHRIST
was expedient, not only for
Himself, but for His disciples
and all believers since he
went to open the way for
them into the holiest of all ,
by His blood; to take
possession of heaven, to
prepare mansions for them;
to appear in the presence of
GOD for them; to be their
advocate, and make
intercession for all good
things for them, to take care
of their affairs; to present
their petition; to remove all
charges and accusations
FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY THE
COMFORTER WILL NOT
COME UNTO YOU
For if I go not away, the
Comforter will not come
unto you, but if I depart, I
will send Him to you, if he
did not die, he could not
remove our sins; He could
not rise again and defeat
death, if He did not go back
to the FATHER, the Holy
Spirit would not come,
CHRIST presence on earth
was limited to one place at
a time, His leaving meant
he could be present to the
whole world through the
Holy Spirit.
JESUS CHRIST was to
complete His work on earth,
and offer the sacrifice of
Himself for sin, and rise
from the dead, and ascend
to the FATHER’S throne,
before the comforter, the
Advocate, the Spirit of the
truth, encourager should
come
BUT IF I DEPART, I WILL
SEND HIM UNTO YOU
I will send to you the Holy
Spirit, as the Divine
dispensation of grace to
men bringing a renewed
humanity, was not yet
because JESUS was not yet
glorified JESUS could not
become the Divine life
center radiating from
Himself the full glory of
universal harmony, until His
ascension , until he had
been glorified in GOD, since
JESUS departed, we now
have a real gospel to
proclaim, the glorious
gospel of the risen and
exalted LORD who is able to
give eternal life to every
person who calls upon Him

8)And when he is come, he

AND WHEN HE IS COME HE
WILL REPROVE THE WORLD
OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JUDGMENT
The threefold office of the
Holy Spirit towards those
who do not believe but may
yet be won over and when
He comes, will convict
means to prick a person’s
heart until he sense and
knows he is guilty, he has
done wrong or failed to do
the right thing concerning
sin, and concerning
righteousness and
concerning judgment, to
convict is the large part of
the duty of the Holy Spirit,
He must vindicate and
prove the truth.
The coming of the Holy
Spirit at the day of
Pentecost, His principal
work with respect to
proclaiming the Gospel to
the heart of men at
conversion ,will be
convicting means, to
expose, refute, convict and
convince, that is, he will so
apply the truth of GOD to
men’s own heart as to
convince them by fair and
sufficient augments that
they are sinners and cause
them to feel so, convicting
the world of sin and
unbelief, in order to awaken
a consciousness of guilt, and
calling it to repentance.
Revealing the standard of
GOD’S righteousness , the
Spirit convince, means to
hammer and drive at a
person’s heart until he
knows the fact , that JESUS
CHRIST is the righteous SON
of GOD, resurrected,
vindicated and now the
LORD of all, He makes them
aware of GOD’S standard of
righteousness in CHRIST
JESUS, showed them what
sin is and give them power
to overcome the world, to
everyone who believes,
because JESUS CHRIST
would no longer be
physically present on earth.
Demonstrating CHRIST’S
judgment over Satan, the
Spirit convinces people of
Satan’s defeat at the Cross

9)Of sin, because they
believe not on Me
|
SIN BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE
NOT ON ME
Of sin in violation of GOD’S
laws and in particular sin of
which men are said to be
convinced, is that of
rejecting the LORD JESUS,
unbelief in the world will be
brought to its consciousness
, for not believing in CHRIST,
disbelieving, rejecting, is
stated as the cause of sin,
JESUS was free of sin and
He said, which of you
convince me of sin? And if I
say the truth, why do ye
not believe me? JOHN 8:46
JESUS speaking concerning
the sin of unbelief , it is first
placed , and is deemed the
magnitude of sin, as is the
principal one of which men
are guilty
JOHN 15:22 if i had not
come and spoken unto
them, they had not had sin,
the refusal to surrender our
heart and will to the Divine
will and authority, the world
sin because it does not
believe in CHRIST,
unbelieving is a sin, by
witness of JESUS CHRIST the
Holy Spirit convinces men
that CHRIST is the center of
the moral harmony of the
universe, and that through
Him their Spirit have access
to GOD, this conviction
reveals to them their sin,
because they believe not on
Him, and will bring them to
a consciousness of guilt.
The Holy Spirit convicts the
world of its sin, that man is
sinful, the Holy Spirit
convicts a man that he falls
short of the glory of GOD,
transgressed, the Holy Spirit
convinces the world that
JESUS really did die for sin ,
the Holy Spirit takes a man
who does not believe on
JESUS and convinces him
that JESUS is the savior, that
his sin are really forgiven
when he believes on JESUS

JOHN 16:10

10) Of righteousness,
because I go My FATHER,
and ye see Me no more
|
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
BECAUSE I GO TO MY
FATHER
There is the conviction of
righteousness, the Holy
spirit convict the world of
lack of righteousness, that a
man has no righteousness,
that man righteousness is
self- righteousness only, is
human righteousness only,
it is the righteousness of
works that are only human
have an end,, is the
righteousness of human
goodness and therefore
passes away when he dies,
that is inadequate,
insufficient, and
unacceptable to GOD ,the
new concept of righteous
attitude and process, by
which GOD is able to treat
as righteous those who
believe, there is no other
righteousness for men than
the righteousness of GOD
in CHRIST and the
righteousness before GOD,
the Holy Spirit convinces of
the fact of sin, fault of sin,
the filth of sin, that by it we
are become hateful to GOD;
of the nature and the
fountain of sin, and the fruit
of sin, that the end
therefore is death, the Holy
Spirit proves that all are
guilty before GOD, the Holy
Spirit convince the world of
righteousness, that JESUS
CHRIST’S righteousness,
imparted to us for
justification and salvation,
the Spirit will show them
that JESUS has secured
righteousness for every
man, that man can
approach GOD through the
righteousness of CHRIST,
that JESUS is the ideal and
perfect son of GOD Himself,
The Spirit lead believers
where and how they may
be accepted as righteous in
GOD’S sight, CHRIST
personal ,righteousness,
which the Spirit was to bring
home to the sinner’s heart,
CHRIST’S ascension proves
the sacrifice on the cross
was accepted, and His
righteousness is that
through which believers
were to be justified , CHRIST
righteousness , as the surety
and Savior of His people,
was worked out and
brought in for the believer,
in obedience to the law of
GOD, which requires
holiness of nature,
perfection of obedience and
bearing its penalty, death;
all which were complied
with by CHRIST, and so the
whole righteousness of the
law was fulfilled In CHRIST
and which is imputed by
GOD as the justifying
righteousness of all that
believes in JESUS
The spirit of GOD, convinces
men of the insufficiency of
their own righteousness
that they will not be just of
them to heaven, the Spirit
does by showing them , the
corruption of their nature
their daily sins , the purity of
the divine perfections and
the spirituality and
extensiveness of the law of
GOD, which when a man is
thoroughly apprized of, he
can never hope for and
expect justification before
GOD by his own
righteousness; hence the
spirit of GOD proceed to
convince men of the glory,
excellency, fulness, and
suitableness of the
righteousness of CHRIST,
which He does, by revealing
it to them in the Gospel,
setting it before them, and
working faith in them to lay
hold upon it, which is found
only in CHRIST
AND YOU SEE ME NO MORE
The departure of CHRIST to
the FATHER was confirmed
by the advent of the Holy
Spirit, that is to say and I
come into that state, when
you will never see me
Because I go to my FATHER,
that is the amazing miracle
of His resurrection and
ascension to GOD,
The going to the FATHER
would cause that they
should look for His bodily
presence no more; but the
Spirit witness of Him, which
would convince the world of
sin and righteousness,
would be, to them a truer
presence of their LORD than
any which physical eye
could see, the eye of the
Spirit sees the reality; the
eye of the body only looks
upon the appearance

11) Of judgment, because
the prince of this world is
judged
|
OF JUDGMENT BECAUSE
THE PRINCE OF THIS
WORLD
There is the conviction of
judgment, the Holy Spirit
convict the world that
judgment is coming, that a
man is to face the personal
judgment of GOD, that
there is a real day of
judgment sometime in the
future, that he is to stand
face to face with GOD and
be judged, that he is to be
judged for sin and lack of
righteousness, and
concerning judgment
because the ruler of this
world hath been judged,
the death of JESUS was a
judgment or a
condemnation of Satan,
JESUS gained the victory
and subdue the great
enemy of man, all
judgement is committed to
CHRIST by the FATHER, as
Mediator; has power in
heaven and in earth
JOHN 5:27 and that He is to
Judge the world , with its
own false views and the
power under which the
human race has been
subjected having been
taken from the devil and a
return under the control of
CHRIST’S righteousness.
Having been thrown open
to men, even to the Gentiles
who were between sin
and righteousness, and
between CHRIST and the
prince of this world,
because the ruler of this
world has been judged
the prince of this world the
power of the prince of this
world is overcome by the
opening to the kingdom of
heaven to all believers, and
concerning judgment
between sin and
righteousness, and between
CHRIST and the prince of
the world, as Satan is
subdue by CHRIST, by His
death, has destroyed him
and his works has spoiled
his principalities and power;
and by CHRIST resurrection
from the dead, and
ascension to heaven, has
carried him and them
captive, triumphing over
them, and, through the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit
upon the disciples and
believers, and the power of
the glorious Gospel, having
judge him , brought in a
reformation, and restored
things into order again of
that judicial power which
CHRIST obtain after His
ascension into heaven,
when the LORD said unto
him, sit thou at my right
hand, until I make thine
enemies thy footstool ACTS
2:33-36 this gave us
confidence, the conviction
concerning sin,
righteousness, and
judgment, by the aid of the
Holy Spirit whom CHRIST
will send will become the
great work of the disciples
through preaching the
gospel
The Holy Spirit convict the
world that JESUS has borne
the judgment of sin and
death for man, the Holy
Spirit convinces a man that
JESUS CHRIST died bearing
the penalty and judgement
of sin for man, that JESUS by
His death destroyed the
power of Satan over sin and
death, that man can be free
from sin and death, the
cross judges breaks the
power of Satan over the
world, he was cast out and
enthrone by JESUS CHRIST,
JOHN 12:31-32, that
believers can be forgiven for
his sin and given eternal life
through the death of JESUS,
Satan is judged and
condemned by the
obedience of CHRIST upon
the cross, GOD is perfectly
pleased with JESUS CHRIST
for CHRIST did exactly what
GOD wanted, it was upon
the cross that CHRIST
obeyed GOD in the
supreme, ultimate and
absolute sense : Has highly
exalted Him ,has given Him
a name that is above every
name, that every knee will
bow before Him of things in
heaven, and things on earth
and things under the earth,
that every tongue will
confess that JESUS CHRIST is
LORD

I HAVE MANY THINGS TO
SAY UNTO YOU I have yet
many things to say unto

JESUS said he had many
things to say to the disciples
and believers but they are
not able to bear them, no
yet, He will share them later
through the Holy Spirit,
CHRIST tell that the Spirit
what to say and how to
guide believers, CHRIST
indeed is He who knows the
weakness and the need of
men and to guide the
Ministry, the disciples
cannot bear them now,
because of their prejudices
of the abrogation and
setting aside the Mosaic
system , the Sabbath and
the Jewish festivals will be
abolished, Gentiles must be
equal member , and the
setting up of a temporal
kingdom, the calling of the
Gentile and not subjecting
them to the law of Moses,
setting up the Gospel, the
great change which were to
take place in the Jewish
system, the abolitions of
sacrifice system and the
priesthood, the doctrine of
justification by faith without
the deeds of the law, the
change of the Sabbath, the
rejection of the Jewish
nation, which were to come

truth from GOD, the Spirit
would complete the
teaching of JESUS CHRIST
and lead you, as a guide
leads in the way and to all
the truth, the truth
pertained to the
establishment of the
believers system
HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF
HIMSELF
He will not speak on His
own initiative; the Holy
Spirit receive the message
and instructions from
CHRIST; He shall declare
what is communicated to
Him, whatsoever He shall
hear, what he shall receive
of the FATHER and SON, the
Holy Spirit declares things

HE WILL SHOW YOU
THINGS TO COME
The revelation will concern
CHRIST and the future, the
whole new testament, it
here declared to be the

ascension of CHRIST, things
relating to the state of the

state of settlement of the
Gospel, He lead the
apostles to write the new
testaments, He was
speaking to them, the
nature of the changes which
were to take place in the

true that the disciples were
inspired by the Holy Spirit to
predict the future events in
the world, referring
specially to those
revelations to be fulfilled of

HE THAT BELIEVE ON ME AS
THE SCRIPTURE HATH SAID
He that believes on Me, he
that acknowledges Me as
Messiah, and trust in Me
and live by faith on Him,
and His grace for Salvation,
as the Scripture hath said,
JESUS refers to the
scripture because it is the
very word of GOD and the
supreme authority for His
teaching and GOD has
chosen to exercise this
authority by making His
truth known in scriptures,
the scripture carries GOD’S
revelation, as if GOD is
speaking to us, the inspired
scripture is the believer’s
ultimate authority, as the
scripture has promised and
attested, in many places:

RIVERS OF LIVING WATER
If any man thirst let him
come unto me and drink,
every one in living
communion with CHRIST
becomes himself the center
of Spiritual influence, there
is in him a power of life
which when quickened by
faith, flows forth as a river,
carrying life and
refreshment , he shall
receive Spiritual blessing
and communication of
Divine grace, in so great
abundance, the fullness of
the Holy Spirit in the life of
the believer, JESUS used the
term living water in
JOHN 4:10-14 to indicate
eternal life here He uses the
term to refer to the Holy
Spirit, the Holy Spirit
empowers the believers in
the day of the Pentecost
and is available to those
who believes in JESUS
CHRIST as savior, when the
gift of the Holy Spirit is
given to believers, they will
experience His overflowing
life, the living water will
flow out from deep within
the believer who shall be
the temple of the Holy
Ghost and a source of life
BUT THIS SPAKE HE OF THE
SPIRIT
JESUS is the source of life,
He is the one that can
quench the real test of
man’s being who can meet
the desperate need of man,
the Holy Spirit, that should
be sent down to teach and
attend to preaching and to
convert sinners, for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given,
JESUS was not yet glorified,
he has not ascended to
Heaven to be glorified and
honored, which was a part
of the arrangement in the
work of redemption that the
Holy Spirit, should descend
after the death of JESUS, as
that His death was the
securing source of this great
blessing, it was not in such
full and large measures as
should be after JESUS
CHRIST had ascended to
heaven, certain measures of
the influence of the Spirit
had been always given in
the conversion and
sanctification of the ancient
Saints and prophets, but
the resulting from His death
,resurrection, and as, the
Spirit cannot be fully given
until sin is dealt with, the
spirit refers to all the work
of the Holy Spirit in the
believer on both the
baptism and regeneration of
the Holy Spirit
JESUS CHRIST is the source
of abundant life, rivers of
living water can flow out
from a person, and
abundant of life can be
experienced the death of
JESUS CHRIST is the source
of the living water, out of
His death, because He died,
he was able to arise, and by
arising He was able to
conquer sin and death and
bring forth eternal life in all
of its abundance, JESUS is
the source of the Holy Spirit,
the river of living water
refers to the Holy Spirit, it is
the person who believes in
CHRIST who receives the
Holy Spirit, CHRIST is the
giver of the Holy Spirit

WILL NOT LEAVE YOU

JESUS said, I will not leave

bereaved of my paternal

left like children without a
father, in a very desolate
and comfortless condition; I
will come to you, by my

against these fears, CHRIST
promises that He would not

CHRIST Spiritual reunion
with them through the Holy
Spirit, meant that He would
return after He had gone
away, that is, He die
resurrects ascended, in to
heaven, He would come
back to give believers His
personal Spiritual
experience in the person
JESUS reveals Himself to the
obedient believer through
the Holy Spirit, since it was
to make His departure to be
no bereavement, but after
His death, resurrection and
ascension, who makes
known the personal
presence of CHRIST in and
with one who loves Him,
I WILL COME UNTO YOU
I will come to you, in a very
short time, as he did; for on
the third day he rose again
from the dead, and
appeared to them, which
filled with great joy
He would not leave them as
orphans, He will continue
the care of His care of His
disciples and believers, by
the Spirit, I will not leave
you orphans and fatherless,
for though I leave you, yet I
leave you this comfort, I will
come to you I will come
speedily to you at My
Resurrection, I will come
daily to you in my Spirit in
love and visit of grace,
JESUS presence with His
followers began with His
resurrection and the
coming of the Holy Spirit,
CHRIST was saying He will
come in the person of the
Holy Spirit
YET A LITTLE WHILE AND
THE WORLD SEE ME NO
MORE
The world sees Me now
only with fleshly eyes, it will
be but for a little while, and
the men of the world shall
be able to see me no more, I
shall be crucified, and laid in
the grave; and though I shall
rise again, yet I shall not be
seen of them, the world
lost its opportunity to see
JESUS, He said so, He said
that he will be present for
only a short time longer,
that is the three days of His
death, resurrection and
ascension , after then the
world would not see Him
anymore, the world would
not see Him visibly, and
they had not the eyes of
faith to discern Him, it is
the disciples and believers
who have the indwelling of
the Holy Spirit who have
the presence of CHRIST’S
Spirit with an eye of faith,
shall see Him forever, He
will come at the end of
time, but the next time the
world will see Him, He will
be coming in Judgment , the
disciples and believers have
communion with Him in His
physical absence. Till the
end of time.
BUT YOU SEE ME BECAUSE I
LIVE YOU SHALL LIVE ALSO
Because I live; that is, I shall
live by my resurrection from
the dead, and by My
glorious ascension to
Heaven, you also shall live,
the life of grace here; and
though your bodies must
die, because of sin, yet your
souls shall upon the death
of your bodies shall live, and
the resurrection your soul
shall live and together be
glorified, all the grace and
mercy shall flow out to you
from Me as Mediator, and
because I live, that the life
of the disciples and
believers depend on that of
CHRIST, they are united, and
if they were separated , the
believers will never enjoy
Spiritual life here nor
eternity, the presence is a
living, eternal presence, He
died, but he did not stay
dead, He arose and
conquered death, He arose
to live forever, if JESUS
CHRIST is living for ever and
He dwells within the
believer, then the believer
lives eternally, CHRIST the
Eternal presence lives
within the believer;
therefore, the believer
becomes eternal, He never
dies, the believer is made
eternal by the eternal
presence of CHRIST within
him, the presence of CHRIST
is a living union, a mutual
indwelling between GOD,
CHRIST, and the believer ,
on that day refers to JESUS
resurrection and the coming
of the Holy Spirit
AT THAT DAY YOU SHALL
KNOW
At that day the time when
My life shall be fully
manifested to you, and the
day of the gift of the
Comforter, in whom CHRIST
shall come to both the
disciples and believers, in
the day of Pentecost,
THAT I AM IN MY FATHER
AND YOU IN ME AND I IN
YOU
The personal union of
CHRIST with His FATHER,
and mystery union of
believers with CHRIST, as
the branch in the vine, as to
both which, though the
disciples and believers
formed in their heart, living
in them, dwelling in them,
as in His temple, and filling
them with grace and glory,
should be known much
more after CHRIST’S
resurrection, and the
pouring forth of the Spirit in
the days of Pentecost, that
then the these unions
between the FATHER and
the SON is as themselves; so
the union between the
FATHER CHRIST and the
disciples and believers,
were from eternity

28)Ye have heard how I

ye love Me, ye would
rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the FATHER; for My
FATHER is greater than i
|
YOU HAVE HEARD HOW I
SAID UNTO YOU I GO
AWAY AND COME AGAIN
But this which He has said
the disciples are to dismiss
their trouble and fear
because, I have foretold My
suffering and death in order
that, when they happen,
your faith, instead of being
shaken,, CHRIST had not
only told His disciples that
He should depart from them
in a little time, but also that
He should return again to
them, and comfort them
with His presence, and
receive them to Himself, to
be with Him in His FATHER’S
house for ever and this he
again suggest, that He has
many mansions , which He
is going to prepare, because
He was the way to the
FATHER, and do all this
under the power of the Holy
Spirit, advocate, helper, and
that the Holy Spirit, will
indeed reveal Him as He
CHRIST had revealed the
FATHER, because the
FATHER and Son would
come and take up their
abode in the loving and
obedient believing heart
IF YOU LOVE ME YOU WILL
REJOICED
If you love me you will
rejoice, the source of joy is
deep assurance and
confidence that ignites a
cheerful heart, in reference
to His death, resurrection
and ascension, the death or
cross of CHRIST attracts and
causes men to rejoice, the
cross is the source of their
deliverance from sin, death,
and Hell, the resurrection
and ascension of CHRIST
are source of their new life ,
and hope for eternity
,instead of grieving, they
love Him and unwilling to
part with Him, which
requires Him return to
Heaven, that greater
blessing may descend on
you by the influence of the
Holy spirit
FOR MY FATHER IS
GREATER THAN I
Not with respect of Divine
nature, which is common to
both the FATHER and the
SON, which they are both
one and equal JOHN 10:30
having the self-same
essence, perfections, and
glory, the FATHER is greater
than the SON only as
regards the human nature
of the SON, CHRIST is
inferior to the FATHER as
touching His manhood,
JESUS on earth was inferior
to His FATHER in Heaven,
the FATHER took JESUS
home, back from where He
had come: and He restored
Him to His seat of glory,
JOHN 17:13 exalting Him
above every name that is
name PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11
The believers joys and
rejoices in the power of the
FATHER’S greatness the
release of the believer from
sinful nature, the flesh, the
world, the Devil, and
pressure of men, a
confirmed faith causes
believers to joy and rejoice,
CHRIST did leave , He did
return the resurrection, He
did go to the FATHER the
ascension,
He did send the
Holy Spirit

FOR THE FATHER HIMSELF
LOVETH YOU BECAUSE YOU
HAVE LOVE ME
For the FATHER Himself
loveth you, because you
have loved me, this love is
that which is called forth by
GOD’S eternal love in the
gift of His son illustrated in
the hearts of those who
believe, The disciples and
lovers of JESUS, having
CHRIST in their heart, united
to Him by faith, will find in
CHRIST that there is a
continuous pledge of
reciprocal love between the
FATHER and Himself and
resting on His dear son, the
FATHER loves all people, but
it is also He also true that
He has a special family love
,the family of GOD, for
those who through JESUS
are reconciled to him, love
Him and remain loyal to
Him, even while enduring
trouble in the world, our
affection for JESUS brings
forth the FATHER’S affection
for His love towards us, love
response to love, JESUS is
talking about a new
relationship between the
believer and GOD, that you
may from thence alone
conclude that he will hear
you, previously, people
approaches GOD through
priests, after JESUS CHRIST
resurrection, any true
believer who sincerely love
CHRIST and believe in Him
and abide in His word, could
approach GOD directly, a
new way of approach has
emerged and now all true
believers are priest, talking
with GOD personally and
directly, we approach GOD,
not because of our own
merit, but because JESUS,
our great High Priest, has
made us acceptable to GOD
It shows that the FATHER
Himself loves the believer,
JESUS said that he would
not have to beg the FATHER
to receive and hear the
believer, He does not have
to intercede or take the
believer to GOD, the
believer not need and
intercessor to be received
by the FATHER, the FATHER
Himself loves the believer
because the believer love
CHRIST, believes JESUS
CHRIST came from GOD
AND HAVE BELIEVED THAT I
CAME OUT FROM GOD
And they believed that
JESUS came from GOD, they
had accepted the truth of
the incarnation, being sent
by Him, and that He is no
impostor, but the true
Messiah that was to come;;
it is true that He did come
from the FATHER, and come
to the world that heaven is
My home, I leave the world
again and return to the
FATHER; they have accept
the truth that I came from
GOD and will return back to
the FATHER as they accept
the Ascension and the gift
of the Holy Spirit and the
Spiritual return and
constant presence in the
life of believers, faith in
CHRIST, and love to him, go
together, faith works by
love; for they mutually
sustain each other, they are
both the gift of GOD’S
grace, and the fruits and
effect of His everlasting love
