John 14:23-29

23Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. 25"These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe

What touched my Soul

“If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

How do we keep the word of Jesus?

If we say we love Jesus we can’t keep the same life we had before knowing Him and loving Him.

If we really love Him we need keep His word.

We must take His word, His teaching, into our life, make those teachings living actions with real transformation of our and our neighbour’s lifes.

We learn from John’s gospel that the transformation of our life through His word will make us closer to Jesus and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit will help us in that difficult Journey .
