    About this ebook

    Troubled. Confused. Uncertain. After 3 years with Jesus, there was so much the disciples didn't understand.

    They were still reeling from the news that someone in their inner circle would betray the Lord. Worse still was Jesus's prediction that their fiery and courageous friend Peter would deny him, and that his death was imminent. It seemed unthinkable.

    What would Jesus say to them? What comfort could he possibly offer?

    Reclining around the meal table, Jesus answered questions, taught and prayed for his disciples. In this final tutorial, he wanted to remind them of his love and faithfulness. Regardless of what was to come, he was in complete control, and events would unfold according to his sovereign plan.

      John 14-17 - Simon Manchester

      Preface

      Can you guess how many sermons have been preached from the Keswick platform? Almost 6,500!

      For over 140 years, the Keswick Convention in the English Lake District has welcomed gifted expositors from all over the world. The convention’s archive is a treasure trove of sermons preached on every book of the Bible.

      This series is an invitation to mine that treasure. It takes talks from the Bible Reading series given by well-loved Keswick speakers, past and present, and reformats them into daily devotionals. Where necessary, the language has been updated but, on the whole, it is the message you would have heard had you been listening in the tent on Skiddaw Street. Each day of the devotional ends with a newly written section designed to help you apply God’s Word to your own life and situation.

      Whether you are a convention regular or have never been to Keswick, this Food for the Journey series is a unique opportunity to study the Scriptures with a Bible teacher by your side. Each book is designed to fit in your jacket pocket or handbag so you can read it anywhere – over the breakfast table, on the commute into work or college, while you are waiting in your car, during your lunch break or in bed at night. Wherever life’s journey takes you, time in God’s Word is vital nourishment for your spiritual journey.

      Our prayer is that these devotionals become your daily feast, a precious opportunity to meet with God through his Word. Read, meditate, apply and pray through the Scriptures given for each day, and allow God’s truths to take root and transform your life.

      If these devotionals whet your appetite for more, there is a ‘For further study’ section at the end of each book. You can also visit our website at www.keswickministries.org/resources to find the full range of books, study guides, CDs, DVDs and mp3s available. Why not order an audio recording of the Bible Reading series to accompany your daily devotional?

      Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

      (Colossians 3:16, esv)

      Introduction

      John 14 – 17

      Troubled. Confused. Uncertain.

      After three years with Jesus, there was still so much the disciples didn’t understand.

      They were reeling from the news that someone in their inner circle would betray the Lord. Perhaps worse still was Jesus’ prediction that their fiery and courageous friend Peter would deny him and that his death was imminent. It was unthinkable.

      On this night of nights, with the agony of Calvary approaching and his own heart heavy, what would Jesus say to them? What comfort could he possibly offer? What essential truths did he want the disciples to grasp?

      Reclining at the meal table, Jesus answered questions, taught and prayed for his disciples. In this final tutorial, he wanted to remind them of his love, his steadfast faithfulness and that he was utterly trustworthy. Regardless of what was to come, he was in complete control and the coming days would unfold according to his sovereign plan. He reassured them that his death would open up the way to heaven for them and, until he returned, his Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth. He anticipated the opposition they would face, but revealed how their union with him would keep them and make them fruitful. In these last moments together, Jesus was passionately interested in their holiness, unity and perseverance.

      Today, disciples of Jesus still feel troubled, confused and uncertain. Perhaps we are asking different questions, but we still wrestle with doubts and concerns. Jesus longs to bring reassurance and, even now, he is praying for you. The apostle John invites you to listen in on this final tutorial and hear these essential truths. Let Jesus’ words take root in your heart and mind, let them reshape the focus and priorities of your life and bring you comfort and hope.

      Day 1

      Read John 13:31 – 14:14

      Key verses: John 13:31 – 14:3

      ³¹Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.

      ³³‘My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: where I am going, you cannot come.

      ³⁴‘A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.’

      ³⁶Simon Peter asked him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’

      Jesus replied, ‘Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.’

      ³⁷Peter asked, ‘Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.’

      ³⁸Then Jesus answered, ‘Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!

      ¹⁴:¹‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. ²My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back
