WHATEVER IS GOING ON HERE??

Nice clean feet, full tummies to relax with, the best of company – what more could those disciples want for?                                                                                   
So the Messianic welcome has fallen flat... Judas has disappeared... and now they’re real worried!                                                                                                
Do you think maybe the LAST SUPPER is important?                                      
John devotes 5 chapters of incredible detail to these few hours - we know more about this event than any other in Ancient History!...who was present, what they ate and drank, what was done and said... word for word!                                                     

There's hope yet!

Jesus now reassures them with not just one but TWO promises to inspire hope. (John 14) Hinting that He is God who alone can be trusted absolutely, He first tells them He is going to ‘the Father’s house’...“to prepare a place for you... I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”                                                                                                   

How to get there??                                                                                                                   

“I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE... (The 6^th ‘I AM the’ of 7) ...no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.”                                                              
No, you don’t get there by way of your own spiritual journey... or on your own terms... or by your good deeds.                                                                                             

Then He begins a stunning revelation:                                                         
“He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father” ...                                       
...and He says: “I am in the Father and the Father in Me” – TWICE!

In case you missed it, Jesus has just promised ‘the rapture’ that so many claim isn’t even in the Bible!  He promises to return FOR His own and TAKE THEM AWAY to His Father’s house.  Just like Christ’s resurrection, this will be the most miraculous event since Creation – all who have ever put their faith in Jesus Christ, whether alive or long dead, will be caught away – and only them!                                    

Yes, He is the WAY, He tells the TRUTH and He will bring all ALIVE!

So what was that second promise?...NEXT
