BIBLE STUDY WITH JESUS PART III - WHY DO YOU INTEND TO SHOW YOURSELF TO US AND NOT THE WORLD?
In this powerful exploration of John 14:22-31, we delve into the profound question: 'How does Jesus manifest Himself to believers but not to the world?' This message unveils four key reasons: the Father's love, the gift of the Holy Spirit, Christ's peace, and His unbreakable promises. We're reminded that our relationship with God is transformative, setting us apart from the world. As we keep God's word and build an intimate connection with Him, we become vessels for His presence. The Holy Spirit's role in our lives is emphasized, bringing to remembrance the teachings of Christ and guiding us in truth. We're challenged to consider: Are we truly allowing God's word to dwell in us, so the Holy Spirit can bring it to life in our daily walk? This message encourages us to embrace the peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace not dependent on circumstances but on our unshakeable faith in Christ. As we reflect on these truths, we're inspired to deepen our commitment to Christ and live as visible manifestations of His love in a world desperately in need of hope.
