Bible study

For over two years now, me and a sweet group of dear sisters have been studying the book of John. We've made it to the upper room discourse in chapter 14. "Let not your heart be troubled" was spoken by our Savior during some very anxious hours (understatement) that they were about to walk through. He speaks of the Spirit that the Father will give and He encourages us in a way no other person can "truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father"John 14:12. How will this be accomplished? Verse 16-17 provides "and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you." As vessels of the Holy Spirit, we can see the work of Christ continue knowing it is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. May the Lord allow us to see His glory revealed as we share the Gospel and see the fruits of those who will be saved.
