The Promises and Warnings of King Messiah
John Chapters 14, 15 and 16
John’s gospel reports more of the content of Yeshua’s instructions to His apostles than do the other three gospels combined. Chapters 14 through 16 concentrate on His teachings on that fateful day before His arrest, trials, crucifixion and burial. In Chapter 14 Christ gave what has become known as the Upper Room Discourse (to see link click Ko). He promised that in His Father’s House are many rooms (Kp), but warned that no one comes to the Father except through Him (Kq). Chapter 14 ends with the promise that He would not leave them (or us) as orphans, but that the Holy Spirit would teach them (us) all things (Kr). Then the Lord and His talmidim left the Upper Room and walked through Jerusalem, down into the Kidron Valley, and up the Mount of Olives to the garden of Gethsemane (Ks). On the way Jesus promised He is the True Vine (Kt), but warned that if the world persecuted Him, they would also be persecuted (Ku). Chapter 16 ends with the promise that the Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth (Kv) and that their grief would turn to joy (Kw).
