Right off the bat in verse 2 Jesus says we're gonna live with Him.
So, I guess verse 6 poke a whole in the thinking that all different religions are the same, leading to God?
And what does Jesus mean in verse 12 by we will do greater works than He did?
John 14
1 "Don't let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God,
and trust also in me.
2 There
is more than enough room in my Father's home.
If this were not so,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you,
so that you will always be with me where I am.
4 And you know the way to where I am going."
5 "No, we don't know, Lord," Thomas said. "We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.
From now on, you do know him and have seen him!"
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied."
9 Jesus replied, "Have
I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don't know who
I am?
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father!
So why are you asking
me to show him to you?
10 Don't
you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words I
speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work
through me.
11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.
Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.
12 "I
tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I
have done, and even greater works,
because I am going to be with the
Father.
13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it,
so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
