“A Haven for Troubled Hearts”

John 14:1-14, {1} “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. {2} My 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? {3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. {4} You know the way to the place where I am going.” {5} Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” {6} Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. {7} If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” {8} Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” {9} Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? {10} Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. {11} Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. {12} Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. {13} And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. {14} You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
