24th April 2011


John 14:3-13 – Jesus the way to the Father
  • “Where is our success?”
  • Very little really occurs to me today – I am just still staggered after all this time by what Jesus meant as an encouragement . . .
  • That we will do even greater things than He did.
  • I guess this ties into the thought, still in my mind from last week, of how according to Jesus His success could be seen in our hands.
  • He believed/s that people will know we are His disciples by or love for one another.
  • If they don’t believe we are His disciples then they will not listen to the teaching we pass on to them because He first passed it onto us.
  • I’m just amazed that Jesus would trust His disciples so much in order to leave the ‘fate’ of His message and teaching in their hands.
  • It could have disappeared within a couple of generations had they not loved one another.
  • The reality is that His disciples were are to do greater things;
  • They reach the Gentiles – Jesus did not.
  • They saw far more people follow Him than He did.
  • They did the miracles that only the Messiah was supposed to do.
  • Today I am reminded of something that Jesus obviously believed in;
  • Our Success is in our successors.
