John 14:14

The Answered Prayer

12 ^a“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 ^aAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^bglorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises Another Helper

15 ^a“If you love Me,¹ keep My commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and ^aHe will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

17 ^athe Spirit of truth, ^bwhom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^cand will be in you.

18 ^aI will not leave you orphans; ^bI will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ^ayou will see Me. ^bBecause I live, you will live also.

20 At that day you will know that ^aI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

John 14:13-14

John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. What man would dare to make such a promise? It will be noted, that in order to enjoy the fullness of these glorious promises we must, (1) Believe. They are limited thus in John 14:12. Without faith it is impossible to please God. (2) We must "ask in his name", or, in dependence upon the merit and intercession of Christ. (3) As shown elsewhere, we must come with a spirit of complete submission to the Father's will, feeling that his will is best, and saying in our hearts, "Thy will be done" (Matthew 6:10 Lu 11:2).
