AND THESE THINGS WILL THEY DO UNTO YOU BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE FATHER NOR ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THESE THINGS HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT, WHEN THE TIME SHALL COME, YE MAY REMEMBER THAT I TOLD YOU OF THEM. AND THESE THINGS I SAID NOT UNTO YOU AT THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE I WAS WITH YOU. Jesus had both warned His disciples of persecution and hatred, and had given them encouragement to meet all such de... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT NOW I GO MY WAY TO HIM THAT SENT ME; AND NONE OF YOU ASKETH ME, WHITHER GOEST THOU?... [ Continue Reading ]
The comfort of Christ's going away:... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT BECAUSE I HAVE SAID THESE THINGS UNTO YOU, SORROW HATH FILLED YOUR HEART.... [ Continue Reading ]
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.

The reproof of the world:... [ Continue Reading ]
OF SIN, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT ON ME;... [ Continue Reading ]
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, BECAUSE I GO TO MY FATHER, AND YE SEE ME NO MORE;... [ Continue Reading ]
OF JUDGMENT, BECAUSE THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED. And that Person, the Holy Spirit, coming into the world, will convict the world. That is one special function and activity of the Spirit, to convict the unbelieving world on three counts, with regard to sin, justice, and judgment. This the Lor... [ Continue Reading ]
I HAVE YET MANY THINGS TO SAY UNTO YOU, BUT YE CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW.... [ Continue Reading ]

HE SHALL GLORIFY ME; FOR HE SHALL RECEIVE OF MINE, AND SHALL SHOW IT UNTO YOU.... [ Continue Reading ]
ALL THINGS THAT THE FATHER HATH ARE MINE; THEREFORE SAID I THAT HE SHALL TAKE OF MINE, AND SHALL SHOW IT UNTO YOU. Much more remains to be said, much more Christ would like to tell His disciples, but in their present state of little faith, of immature spirituality, mixed with sorrow and grief over H...

THE COMFORT OF CHRIST'S SECOND ADVENT. The comfort of the short separation:... [ Continue Reading ]
A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL NOT SEE ME; AND AGAIN A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL SEE ME, BECAUSE I GO TO THE FATHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID SOME OF HIS DISCIPLES AMONG THEMSELVES, WHAT IS THIS THAT HE SAITH UNTO US, A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL NOT SEE ME; AND AGAIN A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL SEE ME; AND, BECAUSE I GO TO THE FATHER?... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY SAID THEREFORE, WHAT IS THIS THAT HE SAITH, A LITTLE WHILE? WE CANNOT TELL WHAT HE SAITH. Only a little while it was, only a few short hours, and the Savior would be hidden from the eyes of His disciples in the darkness of the tomb, and they would not be able to behold Him. But then it would ag... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW JESUS KNEW THAT THEY WERE DESIROUS TO ASK HIM, AND SAID UNTO THEM, DO YE ENQUIRE AMONG YOURSELVES OF THAT I SAID, A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL NOT SEE ME; AND AGAIN A LITTLE WHILE, AND YE SHALL SEE ME?... [ Continue Reading ]

A WOMAN, WHEN SHE IS IN TRAVAIL, HATH SORROW, BECAUSE HER HOUR IS COME; BUT AS SOON AS SHE IS DELIVERED OF THE CHILD, SHE REMEMBERETH NO MORE THE ANGUISH, FOR JOY THAT A MAN IS BORN INTO THE WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND YE NOW THEREFORE HAVE SORROW; BUT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN, AND YOUR HEART SHALL REJOICE, AND YOUR JOY NO MAN TAKETH FROM YOU. Jesus was fully aware of the anxious bewilderment and embarrassment of the disciples, and that they were ashamed to ask for an explanation. In His usual kind manner, therefo... [ Continue Reading ]

The prayer that never fails:... [ Continue Reading ]

THESE THINGS HAVE I SPOKEN UNTO YOU IN PROVERBS; BUT THE TIME COMETH WHEN I SHALL NO MORE SPEAK UNTO YOU IN PROVERBS, BUT I SHALL SHOW YOU PLAINLY OF THE FATHER.... [ Continue Reading ]

FOR THE FATHER HIMSELF LOVETH YOU, BECAUSE YE HAVE LOVED ME, AND HAVE BELIEVED THAT I CAME OUT FROM GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
I CAME FORTH FROM THE FATHER, AND AM COME INTO THE WORLD; AGAIN, I LEAVE THE WORLD, AND GO TO THE FATHER.

THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU THAT IN ME YE MIGHT HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. The last statements of Jesus had been so clear and unmistakable, of the love of the Father, of Christ's coming from, and going to, the Father,... [ Continue Reading ]
