The Message of Love

A beautiful love letter is found in the Gospel of John.

Chapters 13-17 describes what Jesus wanted to share with his diciples,

knowing it would be His last supper with them.

I've picked up a few sentences, that convey His love to his diciples

... both then, now and in the future.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

You believe in God;

believe also in me.

My Father’s house has many rooms;

if that were not so, would I have told you that

I am going there to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come back and take you to be with me

that you also may be where I am.

Gospel of John14:1-3

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Gospel of John 14: 27

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,

just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 

You are my friends if you do what I command.

Gospel of John 15:9-14

I have told you these things,

so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Gospel of John 16:33

... Let's remain in His love.
