The Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verses 4 thru 14

4 “Where [I] am going you know the way.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Master,

we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. 12 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”

In John 14:4-14, Jesus reassures His disciples about the profound connection between Himself, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. He declares, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” emphasizing the unity and oneness of the Father and the Son. This powerful scripture invites believers to embrace a relationship with God that transcends mere acknowledgment; it calls for an intimate belief that binds us with the divine.

When we truly believe in Jesus, we enter into a transformative relationship with the Holy Trinity. This belief is not passive; it is an active engagement with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus encourages us to ask in His name, promising that whatever we ask will be granted. This assurance empowers believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that sincere prayers can yield profound results. The act of asking in Jesus' name unlocks the divine will and enables us to participate in the work of the Kingdom.

As we embrace this calling, we find ourselves equipped to accomplish greater works. These aren’t just miracles or deeds of grandeur; they encompass the mission of bringing more souls into the light of Christ and the promise of Eternal Life. By sharing the Gospel and demonstrating the love of Christ, we extend our impact beyond our individual lives into the lives of those around us.

Thus, let us remember that belief is not merely a mental assent but a heartfelt embrace of the Trinity. Through belief, we are empowered to ask, receive, and ultimately fulfill the divine purpose to spread the Kingdom of God. May our faith move us to action, leading others to experience the transformative love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Day four CONCLAVE. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. Kairos prison ministry day one. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

05-03-25 John 14 v0414

**Whoever Believes in Me**

In the heart of silence, He speaks with grace,

“I am the Way, the Truth, the Life you face.

No other path can lead you here,

To the Father’s love, so perfectly near.”

He calls us to trust, to follow His lead,

In every moment, He’s all that we need.

With the Spirit’s whisper, our doubts wash away,

Together we journey, come what may.

“Asking in my name,” He gently implores,

“Your prayers shall rise, like wings they soar.

With faith as your anchor, the promise stands true,

For greater works await, through the love I give you.”

In unity with Father, in joy we abide,

The presence of divinity, our constant guide.

With hearts lit aflame, we share what we find,

The boundless compassion, the Savior so kind.

So let us arise, with purpose anew,

To bring souls to the Kingdom, both gentle and true.

For in believing together, our mission's made clear—

In the name of the Holy, we have nothing to fear. Amen.
