When man has God the Father, God the Son. and Goo
the Holy Ghost dwelling within him. who can stand before
him? How can he suffer defeat?
Jesus said to Philip, "Believest thou not that | am
in the Father and the Father in Me?-believe Me for
the very works sake"
The 18th verse; verify verify, say unto you He that
beeveth Me Che that believes that God who believes
that God the Father Me- who believes that when he
has Me he has the Father the works that do
shall he do also and greater works than these shall ne do
BECAUSE GO UNTO FATHER
"**The works that do shall he do also" why?
Because I going back to My Father, where was
before empted Myself and laid down the form that
joyed, the form of God.'
CHRIST TAUGHT TO PRAY UNTO FATHER IN HIS NAME
AS you go on in the 18th chapter you will notice that
this the first place where there anything said about
praying in Christs name.
Doctor Dowe was the greatest teacher of the Bible since
the days of the apostles he not and he said were
pray God the Father in the Name of God the Son. and
in the power of God the Holy Ghost.
Did YOU notice in this 18th chapter: whatsoever
shall ask Ny Name that will do ESQ far as know this
the first place where told to pray in His Nance
that the Father may be glorifed in the Son."
IF we shall ask anything in My Name, will do it.
If We love Me-" do what?
People, Keep My commandments"
Yes, ''KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
Obedience! Obedience is the keynote of the Christian
life.
And then on down little further as quoted while
ago, He says:
At that day shall know that am in My Father and
We in Me, and in YOU
Notice this verse; you who profess to be Christians
This is that will revoutionize your life God the
Son is talking, that He says:
He THAT HATH MY COMMANDMENTS, AND KEEPETH
THEM, HE 1T IS THAT LOvETH Me:
What is the to talk about loving Cod when you
in rebellion and you will not submit yourselves to His will?
What is the to talk about expecting to to Heaven
when you full of fear doubt and criticism and
beion against God and you will not meet the simplest
quirement of God?
He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth Me.
No. all men do not love God 1t the man who keeps
His commandments who loves Him.
And then Jesus says: "And he that loveth Me shall
be loved of My Father, and will love him" and would
rather have the love of Jesus than the love of earthly
father mothers any individual here The love of God
the Father! The love of God the Son!
What else does He say here?
*And he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father,
and will love him, and will manifest Myself to him."
There is the promise that God will reveal Himself and
that shall know God the Father and God the Son.
Then pass to the 9th
"Peace leave with you"
How many people have that peace?
There are few in this world today who facing
and greater problems than facing problems
more important to the world to humanity. But count
myself nothing lose myself behind the Eternal Son of Cod
for it is His work. it is not my work.
THE LEGACY PEACE THE CHRIST TO HIS SORROW
DISCIPLES
And "Peace leave with you," said the Savior, my
give unto you not the world giveth give unto
you Let your heart be troubled neither let it be afad
How many do you find who have that peace? They are
restless they have faith in God and they have faith to
make move of any kind for God and for humanity do
not wonder that the Savior sad When the Son of
cometh shall He find faith the earth? He won't find
much
Now one or two in the 18th chapter of John.
eff We abide in Me- and My words abide in you shall
ask what we will, and it shall be done unto you.
Oh isn't that wonderful?
Think of God the Father God the Son. He Who
once the form of God but Who laid all down and took
upon Himself the form of slave and died upon the
think of Him saying to and women, IF abide in Me-
and My Words abide in you We shall ask what WILL and it
shall be done unto you Because don't you when you
obey God you have back of you God the Father God the
Son. and God the Holy Ghost.
We pass on into the 18th chapter and hear the
Savior praying says He looked uHe looked up to His
Father
Father l have finished the work which Thou gavest
Me to do" What did He pray?
He has given you work to do too, but am afraid
