If You Feel All Alone In This Big Bad World This Special Leader Can Comfort And Empower You
How would you have reacted and responded and behaved had you been around this table? Jesus Christ and His men are around that Table partaking of the Passover Meal and once the traitor Judas leaves, Jesus speaks about being glorified and loving one another as I have loved you.
He is also answering the questions His disciples raise.
Where are You going and How can we know the way and Who will we meet there if we follow You? These are relevant important and rather intriguing questions.
Jesus answers these important questions which His men raise because they can be questions people raise today.
The answers dispel all doubts and fears and just wondering.
I am going to prepare a place for you.
I will come again for you.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
When you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.
It is significant that Jesus Christ said these things and answered these questions to men who were soon to be sent out as apostles to preach and teach and heal and minister, and proclaim the whole Gospel.
Jesus did not say these things to the crowds, because crowds would not be able to receive and embrace such teaching.
He shared these matters with men who cared, and who would, in two months time, be out there ministering powerfully under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Do you know that anointing of the Holy Spirit? Have you experienced that supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit which can be received solely and only from and through Jesus Christ, the Son of God? Here is a leader who gives and gives and so graciously and so generously.
There are truths Jesus will share with some people and not with others, but the truths he teaches here can be received by every true disciple of Jesus Christ.
With Jesus there are no secrets, when he is among His disciples, and when He is with His men.
Good leaders are always able to trust those who are close to them.
It must be terrible to be all alone and all by yourself in this big bad world, and that is how the disciples are beginning to feel.
Jesus had lovingly called them and chosen them.
He had addressed them as 'my children'.
He has explained where He is going and how they can be with Him, although, not yet, and at this point these men are beginning to feel like little lost lonely orphans.
They were sensing they were going to be left all alone and Jesus seeks to comfort them.
A good leader always informs and comforts and strengthens and encourages - always! Sandy Shaw
