Welcome: My name is Kent Hinrichsen.
Welcome again to Hype Student Ministries.
It’s good to be back here again after we took last Sunday off from Ice Camp.
Speaking of Ice Camp, it was a fantastic weekend.
Here are what some students who went said about Ice Camp.
Insert Gracie and JJ’s one paragraph summaries.
If you were unable to go to Ice Camp make sure you sign up for our next camp which will be our Summer Retreat in July.
Details about summer retreat will come out later this semester.
Introduction
To start off our lesson I want to ask you a question.
What is the longest road trip you’ve ever been on?
Ask students.
For me it was when my family decided to go to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
The Trip took over 24 hrs.
Luckily my family had a huge van with a TV in it and my siblings and I played a lot of Mario Kart.
What are some essentials that you need when going on a road trip?
Ask students.
A Destination, directions on how to get your destination, a way of traveling (car), snacks, money for gas and for hotels.
Tonight in our passage of John that we are going to study, we see Jesus’s disciples ask Him questions about a destination and directions to get there.
If you have your bibles or scripture notebooks with you please meet me in John 14.
Context of John 14
To put this story into context the disciples have spent roughly the past 2.5 to 3 years of their lives with Jesus.
In this time, Jesus has been teaching them how to interpret God’s word, how to live a godly life, and most importantly how to be in a relationship with God.
Along the way Jesus is preforming miracles and preaching that He is the Son of God and that He has come to save people from their sins.
He will do this by being crucified on the cross.
Now in Jesus is only a few short hours away from being betrayed and then later the next day being crucified on a cross.
Starting in passage we read last week, where Jesus washes the disciple’s feet, we see Jesus having His last meal with His disciples before He dies, commonly known as the last supper.
During this meal Jesus is giving His final teaching to His disciples before He dies, commonly known as the upper room discourse.
All of this is happening within 24 hours of Him dying on the cross.
Jesus’s last meal with His disciples before He dies - Last Supper
Jesus’s final teaching before He dies- Upper Room Discourse
Now we know how our passage fits into the larger story, let’s starting reading.
Meet me in John 14:1.
John 14:1.
14 “Don’t let your heart be troubled.
Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 You know the way to where I am going.”,
5 “Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where you’re going.
How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you know me, you will also know my Father.
From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Let’s stop reading here for a moment and look at the first question that Jesus is asked.
What’s the Destination?
Here we see Thomas ask this,
“we don’t know where you’re going.
How can we know the way?”
In other words Thomas is saying to Jesus,
You tell us your going away but that you’ll come back and also that we know how to get to where your going.
But there’s one problem Jesus, we don’t know the location.
You haven’t told us the city or place you are going?
If we don’t know the location,
How can we know the way to find you?
It would be if we knew our current location but didn’t know our destination.
If you don’t know the destination you will not know how to get there.
Show Google Map pictures.
In Jesus’s answer He gives both the location of the destination and way to get there.
Let’s go back to our scripture notebooks and read John 14:6-7
Here we see
The destination is being with God the Father.
“No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Going to the Father is the journey with God the Father being the destination.
Not only do we see the destination but we see how to get there.
How do we get there?
Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”
I hope you see that for humanity the destination that we were created to arrive at is to be with God forever in Heaven and there is only one way, one way, (how many ways are there?) to get there.
That one way is by having a relationship with Jesus, believing in Him as your Lord and Savior of your life.
This looks like repenting of your sins, confessing them to God and asking for forgiveness and turning away from sin and pursuing after obedience to God’s commands.
There are times though when we don’t want to go through battling with sin, denying our self, pursuing righteousness.
There are times we just want to arrive at the destination.
This is where Philips request comes.
Let’s continue reading our passage of John 14 at verse 8.
8 “Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip?
The one 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 the Father is in me?
The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
The Father who lives in me does his works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.
Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.
PRAYING IN JESUS’S NAME
12 “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do.
And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.,
ANOTHER COUNSELOR PROMISED
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever.
17 He is the Spirit of truth.
The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him.
But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.
THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me.
Because I live, you will live too.
20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you.
21 The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.
And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.
