TEXT:
JOHN 14:1-3
TOPIC:
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED.
Background
The referenced text is a continuation of
discussion which started earlier and continued after the supper then the feet
washing after which the devil entered Judas and moved him to betray Jesus John
13:27,it was more of a farewell speech.
The disciples were called by the master
Jesus Matt 3-4, Mark 1:16 ff (today, there are basically two important calls
that all who are heaven bound has to answer to first is the call to salvation,
the transformation from the kingdom of darkness into that of His dear son
(light) Col 1:13 the call to salvation are you saved by the precious blood of
the lamb? Secondly the call into the ministry of reconciliation 2Cor 5:18 (reconciling
men to men and men to God, hence any so called member of the body whose
presence and practice brings more division than absence has a major issue with
his /her salvation, ideology/theology).
They (the disciples) had grown dependent
upon the physical, visible presence of Jesus, when they were in any emergency or
difficulty, they turned to Him Mark 4:38, when they were in doubt as to how to
pray they turned to Him Luke 11:1-13, He was their Leader, Teacher, Mentor, Prophet,
Miracle worker, Pastor and Lord.
They were however shocked destabilized and
disillusioned at the pronouncement of His departure for the following among
other reasons:
·
They did not have the full grasp as at
then on why He came and the connection to the going. John 10:11 says I am the
good shepherd and the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
·
The so short duration of His (Jesus’s) ministry,
probably when they started enjoying Him and His booties.
·
His manner of departure, being betrayed,
molested and killed by humans after all the miracles they saw.
To
be continued.
SHALOM.
