 the Lord Jesus, being an example of servant leadership, he does the act of humbling himself and then washing the feet of his disciples. Now let's see further what happens. Okay, so now once this was done, Jesus identifies the person who is going to betray him. We saw that Satan had already put it in Judas' heart to betray Jesus. Now Jesus in verse 18 he says, I do not speak concerning all of you because he just now pointed out that one person is not clean. So who is that one person? He says, not concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen but that the scripture may be fulfilled. He says, he who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. Okay, now again, it is really amazing how Jesus could share bread with somebody he knew is going to betray him. Apparently the sharing of bread was giving honor. Like if I bread bread and if I you know give you that bread, it would be that you are related to me in some way a friend or a family member or a disciple or somebody and I honor you. And Jesus has shared his bread with Judas, knowing that Judas is going to betray him. You know, in one way it shows us of the incredible love that Jesus had for all his disciples even though he knew that one person is going to turn out so sour and that relationship is going to turn out very differently and yet he had the courage to love. Okay, something amazing now. Of course, the Lord Jesus, he is doing what he needs to do and he is maintaining those boundaries with Judas but at the same time in his heart he is not carrying any anger or bitterness against a betrayer even and that is something very beautiful from which we can learn a lot. So Jesus identified him and in fact he said that this person is going to lift up his heel against me. So again, you have some of these expressions that can be understood in that cultural context. So if lifting up a heel against one is to betray, okay, or to, you know, go betray someone, okay. All right, so Jesus kind of lets everyone know that it is actually Judas. Now, I don't know how many of the disciples actually got the point but Judas himself would have understood that Jesus also knows that I am going to do something against him. Okay, and so Jesus reveals that, yeah, and he continues to encourage them that they must believe in him. You know, he says things like, most assuredly I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives me and he who receives me receives him who sent me. So in the context of somebody betraying him, you know, he's continuing to say, yeah, there is somebody who's going to betray me but you know, I want to encourage all of you to accept me as the Son of God and continue to walk with me. Okay, now it's obvious that when you know, so many things are being revealed to the disciples repeatedly he's telling them that he's going away and all they must have been confused. They must have been disturbed, you know, as to, oh, you know, what are these events that are going to take place in the coming days? Jesus is really, you know, talking as if these things are going to be hard for us and so they must have been confused. So Jesus being a good leader, he encourages them, verse 21 he says, oh, wait a minute, that encouragement comes a little later. Okay, he's still continuing to reveal his sorrow about the betrayer, sorry. So Jesus was troubled in the spirit and he testified, most assuredly I say to you, one of you will betray me. So he's still in his own, you know, sort of distress thinking that somebody he loves is going to betray him and at this point, you know, Peter asks, he motions to a disciple who's leaning on Jesus's bosom. So in those days, apparently they would sit quite close when they had the supper and one of the disciples, John does not mention the name of this disciple, but he shows as if this disciple is very close to Jesus, the disciple whom Jesus loved, he uses this, you know, a couple of times and the historians say that John was talking about himself. Okay, he was talking about himself that he was the person whom Jesus loved, you know, now it doesn't seem like he's saying that he was loved among everybody, as if Jesus loved him more than everybody, but I don't know why he's saying, you know, the disciple whom Jesus loved, the disciple whom Jesus loved, maybe he just wanted to reveal his love for Christ. So he just puts it this way and it's most likely John. So Peter asks John, because you're so close to Jesus, you're resting on, you know, bosom is like the embrace of Jesus, you're resting so close to Jesus. So you ask him, who is it? Okay, Lord, who is it that Jesus says, you know, I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it. That person, that person is the one who is going to betray. So after the piece of bread and Jesus dipped it and gave it to Judas Iscariot and as soon as he did that, we are told that Satan entered him. It's really sad that a person had opened up himself to that extent that, you know, the kingdom of darkness could rule and reign in him to betray the Son of God, can you imagine? And I think earlier I told us that 300 dinari, he was making such a hue and cry for 300 dinari, but you know, later on we find out that for 30 cents, he got how much money for telling on Jesus? 30 cents. Okay. And for 30 cents or 30, sorry, 30 silver coins, I think, he sold Jesus. He sold the saviour of the world. What is more expensive? Is, you know, 30 silver coins more expensive or the saviour of the world? But look at his deranged thinking. He wants money. He wants, why does he want money? Why does Judas Iscariot want money? He was in charge of the treasury and I don't know what happened to him. Why he is looking at the things that are passing away and considering them as more precious than the saviour, the eternal saviour of the world. But something has happened to his thinking and here we are told that Satan entered him. Okay. So excuse me. He had opened himself up to the direction of the enemy. Okay. And that's very dangerous. And even for us, that's why the word of God says every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, you know, we have to tear it down. We have to pull it down. Not even one thought we must allow which is not in the mind of God because we have the mind of Christ. Okay. Now Judas had allowed himself to such an extent that, you know, Satan entered him and then Jesus is not afraid of what Judas is going to do. Jesus tells him, whatever you, what you do, you do quickly. He knew that he is going to go and tell the authorities where Jesus is. But Jesus is not afraid because remember, he's quite aware of the timing of his life. So he knew the time has come. I can't escape. I have to go into it. So what you do, you do quickly. So nobody on the table knew for what reason Jesus said this. Some thought that Judas had the money box. And so Jesus told him, buy those things we need for the feast or that he should give something to the poor. You know, in interpreting this, some people say that Jesus and his disciples, they did not have much money, but also looks like they were people who used to give to the poor. So in the amount of money which they had, they had a practice of giving to the poor. So that is why as a common understanding, the disciples are thinking, oh, Jesus is telling Judas something. Maybe Jesus is telling him to prepare for the Passover feast. Maybe Jesus is telling him to go and give money to the poor people, which we normally do. So you see, even Jesus practiced giving, helping the needy people. So we see that in the life of Jesus. So that is something to inspire us. Somebody who is in need, somebody who lacks, we can give to them. Now also verse 30, it says, having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately and it was night. So again, some commentaries, it says, can you think about the mindset that Judas was in? Jesus just honored him by giving him bread. So I told you, they would eat only with people with whom they had relationship. So Jesus is expressing his relationship, my disciple, my friend. Recently Judas's feet also have been washed. After all that, it says he went out immediately. So some people say, oh, maybe he did not even finish chewing the bread and swallowing it up, but he is not able to see the worth of the Savior. He is thinking about the money. After experiencing the love of God, he is ready to go and betray so quickly. How can a person be like that? But we understand here that he had opened himself up to the strongholds of the enemy and the strongholds had taken over. So that's what happens when we don't deal with things quickly, a renewed mind that we can let a lot of wrong thoughts just linger around and form these strongholds. Something that is so simple to understand, he is not able to understand. Immediately it says that he went in preparation of getting Jesus caught. So how out of balance Judas's mind has become. All right, now let's see what Jesus says. Okay, so now they have had this supper and then they are talking and Jesus is sharing a couple of more things to prepare their hearts. He says, now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and glorify him immediately. So you see in the relationship that he had with the Father, he's saying he has lived a life to glorify God and God is faithful to glorify Christ because in Christ God will be glorified. So it's this beautiful relationship that Jesus is sharing with the Father and the Father is sharing with Jesus and you know they are like working together, working together and you know there is glorification of Jesus and also through the life of Jesus glorifying of the Father and more specifically about the cross. So that's why he says glorify him immediately, meaning very soon Jesus is going to die and he is going to glorify the Father and then he says to the disciples, this is little children, you know, he's expressing his love and affection. Remember I said the bond that he had with the disciples? It was not just a working relationship but it was deeper than that. So little children is a, you see even John writes, when he writes his epistles he uses little children, that way of talking. So teachers would use that for their students in an affectionate way and Jesus knows that soon he is not going to be with the flock. So they might get confused. So in an affectionate way he's telling little children, I shall be with you a little while longer, you know, again he's telling them, okay get ready, be mentally prepared, little while longer, you will seek me or you'll try to find me and as I said to the Jews, where I am going you cannot come. So now I say to you a new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you and that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. So you see when somebody is going away, okay and for good, they will generally provide an instruction which is very important, okay, because they know that they are not going to be around after that. So Jesus says a new commandment I give to you, what is this commandment? Okay Jesus tell us quickly, you're not going to be there for long, what do you want us to do? Please tell us. He says love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another. So Jesus is giving them a key. He says if you want the world to know that you are my disciples, the same thing that he has been talking about so far. He gave them an example by washing their feet, by being affectionate to them, by sharing his bread. So he's demonstrating that love which he has for them and now he wants the disciples to love each other and he says this is the new commandment. Because earlier we know that Jesus, what is the greatest commandment when Jesus is asked, he says love God and love your neighbor as yourself. So this kind of sums up the law, it sums up the law. So he has lived that life of loving God and loving people and he wants, once he's gone, he wants his disciples obviously to love him but in addition to that he wants them to love one another. So today when we testify to the world about you know the love of God as Christians and believers you know it is so sad actually when people have quarrels, disagreements, you know some form of rivalry, hatred towards one another. I was just talking to somebody who had visited you know one of our services and that person you know doesn't come anymore but I was just talking to them and they were introducing themselves and the place where they are and you know they were saying oh there are a lot of churches in our area but you know one thing is they are all so angry with each other and they all have issues with one another that apparently two congregations they are thinking of you know putting a case on each other. So that person was telling me I don't understand you know people talk about God's love but there are churches that are fighting, there are churches that are fighting for property and churches that are fighting for you know some rights and they want to go to court. Why are Christian people like this? You know at that time I was just thinking hey what did Jesus tell us if the by this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another. So as believers you know among ourselves we are fighting we are saying oh I am this denomination I believe in this doctrine you know I believe in I don't want to use any names but just you know just like that this denomination or you know this ministry that ministry I don't like other ministries we don't get along we fight with each other you know we have studied right in the course kingdom builders how we should have a kingdom mindset how we should love one another despite our you know the core things if we believe that yeah Jesus is the Son of God we are born again we are part of the kingdom of God you know some of those those small issues which we have with one another you know we have to kind of not make a big deal about it and know how to walk with one another know how to honor one another and if all need to know that we are his disciples what did Jesus ask us to do he said love one another and when he is going away he's saying a new commandment I give to you so is this important or not it is important the unity in the body of Christ okay the the the that camaraderie friendship in the body of Christ is very important if we don't have that no we are not displaying Christ to the world and that's what Jesus told he said okay I want you to demonstrate the way I am demonstrating my love I want you to demonstrate it so love one another how the standard is very high as I have loved you and we can talk so much about the love of Jesus you know sacrificial love forgiving love accepting love steadfast love right we can talk about it so much so in that love with that love we are supposed to love each other okay let's move on so he's preparing their hearts he's telling them how they should live once he is gone and now as he's repeatedly saying I'm going I'm going Peter asks him we said that you know everyone each disciples personality is coming out you know Judas what was his attitude what was his personality like we saw a little bit about it Peter always jumping up you know quickly asking a question quickly making a statement no Lord you can't wash my feet so you can understand that Jesus is also dealing with people of all kinds okay and Peter is now saying Lord where are you going Jesus answered him where I am going you cannot follow me now but you shall follow me afterward so what was Jesus saying you know Jesus was talking about his death but maybe the disciples thought every time he's saying I will not be with you a little longer which city is he planning to go to he was an Ephraim of some time ago and then you know we we we were in other parts which one does he prefer where does he want to go so maybe Peter thought he's going to another place another town so that's why he's asking where are you going but Jesus is pointing out over here and he's saying that he's going to die okay and that's why he's telling Peter you cannot follow me now Peter you're not understanding I'm going to die you can't follow me now but he's saying but you shall follow me afterward so we know that Peter was also martyred right Peter was also killed so there will come a time when Peter will be mentally prepared okay for what is going to happen to him but not right now so Jesus is telling him in a figurative in sort of a you know like it has deeper meaning but he's putting it in a plain way and he's saying I'm where I'm going you cannot follow me but sometime later you will so Peter says Lord why can I not follow you now you know he seems to be very you know confident in himself as if he knows all the answers he says no why can't I follow you now I will lay down my life for you for your sake no it's like an you could say like an emotional statement I don't know whether he fully understood what Jesus was saying Jesus was saying I'm going to die can you die but he's saying I will lay down my life for your sake he's saying emotionally you know he's saying yeah I can't Jesus what are you talking about so Jesus tells him no will you lay down your life for my sake most assuredly I say to you the rooster shall not grow till you have denied me three times so we know that Peter even though he made this grand declaration that I am ready to die for you Jesus when the situation was tough when Peter could have been you know signaled out as a disciple of Jesus and tried he got scared he denied Christ in the most crucial moment and sometimes we wonder Jesus why did you pick such people as your disciples you know and Jesus already knew this man who's saying he'll die for me three times he's going to deny and Jesus tells him also I'm telling you before the rooster shall you know the rooster shall not grow till you have denied me three times so you know what does this tell us it just tells us that God knows our weaknesses okay and even though he knows our weaknesses still he has called us to still he has given us a great destiny and a purpose he does not discard us because of our weaknesses okay and it's really beautiful and that's what Jesus was saying look I have loved you like this you love your brothers you love one another the way I have loved you I know who you are and still I love you okay so that just shows us you know the the kind of relationship that he shared with the disciples so all of John chapter 13 we saw that you know he's really uh showering his his unconditional love upon the disciples and you know these are the people right who are with through the thick and thin and these are the people whom he has prepared by the word of God he has prepared uh by by uh imparting the truth you know into their hearts not just for the time when he will be taken away but even after he comes you know he rises from the dead and he again ascends he knows these same weak 12 people you know when they are baptized of course 11 people when they are baptized in the Holy Spirit remember in Acts we we saw a person say that oh these people who have turned the world upside down they have come here also so these same weak individuals by the infilling of the Holy Spirit Jesus knew that they are going to be you know they will make a great impact on the world and so Jesus didn't give up on them okay he loved them he prepared their hearts on what is to come now he tells them in verse 14 verse one he says let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me so after uh opening up to them and sharing so many things you know he doesn't want them to get confused instead he's saying uh don't let heart be troubled okay in other words he's saying um you know situations around us can be challenging but is it possible for our heart to have peace in that situation yes you know it is like people give this illustration when Jesus was on the boat and he was going to um uh rebuke the storm before that what was the position that he had taken Jesus was sleeping it's sleeping in the storm so our heart can be in a place in the storm where it can be calm it can be quiet even though there is difficulty even though there is trouble so don't let your heart be troubled so we can be going through many challenges but is it possible to keep our heart calm at peace yes and that's what Jesus was saying uh and how to do this he was saying believe in God believe also in me so as we're going through the storms of life if we have faith if we are anchored trusting in the Lord then you know our hearts can be strong so that's what Jesus said don't let your heart be troubled believe in God believe also in me then he also encourages them by telling them the you know sometimes it's very encouraging to know what comes next for example you know when we used to write the exams uh 10th standard 12th standard board exams you're studying for so many months you know I would always think oh wow you know if you write it well then you can get a rank if I get a rank I'll go to a very good college so you're thinking about what comes next and that keeps us motivated okay fine let me study let me study for two more hours let me study for three three more hours so we look ahead at the future and God knows that so God is encouraging these people who are going to be in distress very soon he's saying in my father's house are many mansions so he's saying you know what in the future that is when you come to heaven let me tell you this secret you know in my father's house and think about this he's calling heaven as father's house that is why today you know when people who are believing in the Lord who are trusting in the Lord they go they you know pass away we don't we don't generally for a Christian we don't say he passed away we don't use that term because that person yes physically they are not there but we know that we are going to see them again because their spirit lives on right and it is in heaven it is in the presence of God so we say so and so has gone home to be with the Lord we have a home in heaven okay what a reassurance and here Jesus is saying in my father's house wow can you can you imagine that if we can call you know the place where you live hey my parents built this house my father's house Jesus is calling heaven my father's house so it's just wonderful that he has authority in the kingdom he has authority in heaven and it is his father's house and he's encouraging the believers he's encouraging the disciples and he's saying look that my own place my father's house there are many mansions or he's saying there is a lot of room there are a lot of rooms for everyone and if it were not so I would have told you but I go to prepare a place for you so all of this is just showering his affection on his disciples where he's saying that even in the future you know there is assurance right now everything looks shaky but I'm giving you an assured future disciples in my father's house there is enough space for you and you know whenever we invite somebody to our home it happens isn't it we try to at least minimum we just try to oh put this cushion in its place clean it up prepare prepare the place so and so is coming okay do we have you know milk to make them a cup of tea there is a preparation because it shows your affection for that person or your regard or your honor who is coming look at this Jesus saying I go to prepare a place for you so in other words he's saying you are special disciples when you come like I want it to be ready I want your space to be ready so reassuring so encouraging for us to say that we have a future which is beyond our lifetime with God okay and he's inviting us in he's saying I already have enough place for all of you and I'm going I'll prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you to myself wow what a what a gesture of hospitality he will only come and receive us to himself that where I am going there you may be also okay so what is our encouragement when we think about heaven look at this first second part it says where I am there you may be also so when we die as believers we are going to heaven not because heaven is this you know place where there is streets with gold that's exciting you know there is a pearly gates that's exciting there are precious stones that's exciting all those things are very exciting there are angels there you know when we read about heaven so many things we understand oh it's going to be beautiful there is there are no tears in heaven and all but the most exciting thing is what Jesus is saying where I am there you may be also so what is going to make our hearts leap for joy heaven is where Jesus is and we are most excited to meet Jesus imagine you have the whole construction you have all the angels singing but Jesus is not there what is the use but where Jesus is you know there we are going and that is what we a true believer a true disciple will be so happy to continue to be with Jesus and that's the the joy that Jesus is talking about and he's saying in the future you know I am going to make a place for you there are there is a lot of place I will come and get you you know to go with me and we know this you know second coming obviously Jesus is going to come back and take us and then he says where I go you know and the way you know so he's saying heaven or my presence I'm going to take you with me so you know all these things are really encouraging as we serve God sometimes when we are in challenging situations what does Jesus say don't let your heart be troubled first thing okay put your trust in God put your trust in Jesus and also think of all the joy that God has placed before us you know for for us to enjoy now and in eternity and it really gives us perspective and we are able to get up again and say okay I know whatever I'm going through it's temporary I'll be past this and I'm going to go and experience greater more eternal things and you know I'm so happy about it so we are able to continue fighting now one more disciple speaks up so far we had Peter doing the talking so now Thomas he says Lord we do not know where you are going and how can we know the way again see all the disciples are thinking for Jesus is saying already there's no place to stay he's saying I have mansions for you which city is he talking about which town is he talking about father's house Joseph does Joseph has have a big house we don't know so Thomas is getting very confused okay remember Thomas is committed to Jesus earlier he said wherever you go we'll go we'll die with you Jesus so this committed disciple he's saying Lord can you give us some clarity where are you going and how can we know the way now Jesus you know in whatever Jesus is saying it's like he's making a logical statement but behind that logical statement there is spiritual truth there is deep revelation Jesus says okay Thomas you're asking how can you know the way you want to know the way let me tell you I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me so remember we said the claims of Jesus where the Pharisees were asking who are you who are you and Jesus said I am that I am I am the light of the world you know Jesus said other places he said I am the bread of life I am the you know water I am this I am that I am the resurrection of the life he's already proclaimed okay who he is now he's adding to it he's saying I am the way I am the truth I am the life so he's saying I'm the Messiah you want to know how you know what makes the way to go to this mansion and heaven and you know be with the Father through me and we see this preached a lot right that Jesus is the only way and you know it's also said that Jesus said I am the way so it doesn't mean that you know he is one of the options or he's one of the people to put our faith in that you know people say that all roads lead to Rome so if you keep walking you'll reach the destination and the destination is the same but Jesus refuted that and he said no all roads will not lead you to God only one road will lead you to God I am that road I am the way so if you want to go to the Father Thomas you go through me if you want to know the truth about who God is believe in me believe in what I'm saying you know and I am the life also I'm the source for you and he says too as if this was not clear enough in addition to that he says no one comes to the Father except through me it's like making it doubly doubly clear Jesus says I told you I am the way that I am the road there is no other road okay so Jesus is making it very clear that he's the Messiah and he's letting the disciples know now let's continue he says if you had known me you would have known my father also and from now on you know him and have seen him so he's wanting the disciples to understand him for who he is their understanding is different okay at least it's not settled that we can very clearly see here but he's saying look you need to know me and if you know you know if you've known me you would also know my father so look at all these honest disciples they start asking questions and that shows us that Jesus had a you know a really nice relationship with them that they didn't feel scared or they didn't feel ashamed but whatever question they had in their hearts they put it across to Jesus so Philip he's asking them he's saying Lord show us the Father it is sufficient for us you know very spiritual Philip he's saying okay God wow you're talking so many big things you do this one thing for us you just show us the Father you know that is enough for us so Jesus you know he tells Philip he says come on Philip I was with you for so you know such a long time and now you're telling me show us the Father okay what is this Philip do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me the words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own authority but the Father who dwells in me does the works believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves so Jesus is saying in other words he's saying Father and I are one okay Father is in me I am in the Father so whatever I'm doing through my life it is out of the authority of the Father and I'm doing the works that the Father is leading me to do so Philip if you have seen me you have seen the Father now how come you're asking show me the Father remember in the book of Hebrews we read this you know that Jesus is the exact representation of God so if I want to know how is the Father how is Father God I have to look at the life of Jesus because Jesus is exactly how Father thinks what Father does you know everything that the Father does you will see Jesus doing it so that is what Jesus was telling Philip Philip don't worry you want to know the Father if you know me you know the Father and again that beautiful relationship I in him he in me in in okay it's not with it's in so so close so close and deeply connected deeply connected that's the relationship of the Godhead now let's continue verse 12 but there he says most assuredly I say to you he who believes in me the works that I do he will do also you see Jesus is encouraging encouraging the disciples he's saying I talked about the Father's works you know what you people will also do these works and let me tell you he adds to that he said he will do also and greater works than these he will do because I go to the to my father so he's going to now slowly start talking about the Holy Spirit and till now the Holy Spirit was not given to the disciples okay that you we need to understand because the disciples Jesus is not yet died and risen from the dead it's only after that that you know the disciples at one point Jesus will breathe on them and you know release the Holy Spirit on them and then later you know he will ask them to wait for the empowering of the Holy Spirit through the baptism in the Holy Spirit but these people had not yet experienced that isn't it so he's just trying to tell them about the Holy Spirit and he says look you are going to do these works that I have done I've just spoke about the Father's works you're also going to do it and let me tell you you are going to do greater works because I go to my father so what happens when Jesus goes to the Father he'll tell now when I go to my father Holy Spirit will come and when Holy Spirit will come he will empower every believer okay and that is when we can expect greater works so what are greater works you know people ask that question the the works that Jesus did you know in this itself in the book of John we have seen miracles we have seen healings we have seen deliverances okay Jesus said you will do these works even Mark Mark chapter 16 you shall lay hands on the sick they will recover you shall you know cast out demons you shall cleanse the so many things we are going to do that we understand but what is greater works you shall do greater works greater works would mean things that maybe in the lifetime of Jesus he did not seem to have done or at least it's not recorded those kind of works also we would be able to see through our ministry because who empowered Jesus to do the miracles the Holy Spirit same way Holy Spirit when he comes upon us some unusual things now there are people who say greater works means you know nowadays you have something like people put metal in the body if a bone is broken metal is put into our touch in Jesus's days they did not have such surgeries so you know seeing the metal turn into bone I don't think in Jesus's times he saw that happen but today there are people who testify that my metal was turned into bone how can that be you know or some some things like that that we see today we could people call those things as greater works okay so maybe that that's what Jesus meant some unusual things that are taking place today which did not take place during the ministry of Jesus so us doing greater works does not make us greater okay we are definitely not greater than the father or greater than Jesus that cannot be but some of these works can be classified as greater works okay and unusual miracles that take place so can we expect these things to happen today yes very much and Jesus assured us he said yeah you will also do the works which I'm doing father's works and let me tell you he said you shall do greater works than these because I go to my father okay and today I'll just cover the next couple of verses and stop there and then he says not only greater works but you know you will have a very powerful prayer life so he says whatever you ask in my name that I will do that the father may be glorified in the sun if you ask anything in my name I will do it so Jesus is also letting us know that you are also going to walk in a path with a very effective and a powerful prayer life so as believers today we can have the confidence if I am a disciple of Jesus I can have confidence I will do the works Jesus did I will do greater works I will also have a very powerful effective prayer life because Jesus said whatever you ask in my name I will do it that the father may be glorified in the sun so the key is to ask and ask how ask in the name of Jesus ask in the name of Jesus you ask in my name because there is authority in the name of Jesus you know Jesus what did he say when he goes when he ascends to heaven he will do it for us we have to ask in the name of Jesus if you ask anything in my name I will do it now here this anything you know you have to compare it with what has been told in other passages also you know we know that we have been told that whatever we ask in the will of God he hears us okay so this anything has to do with the will of God if you ask anything according to the will of God what did Jesus say that is that will be an answered prayer it will be a successful prayer or in other words it will be an effective prayer so we have a promise as the disciples Jesus is encouraging us he's saying look don't be troubled this is not the end okay think spiritually yes I will not be here physically in the body but when I go I have many mansions I have lot of place I'll prepare a place for you I'll come and take you so that where I am you also can be with me also let me tell you that you will do greater works these works and greater works you're going to do and also you're going to pray and you're going to get really blessed because you will see answers to prayer so all of this you know Jesus is basically he's sharing his heart and he's telling them all the important things that they need to do because very soon he's going to be crucified okay so we're out of time just request somebody to please pray and we will close for now quickly someone can you jump in and pray please so we
