John 14 is usually thought of as a “funeral text,” a word of hope for those grieving the loss of a loved one. But Jesus is really speaking to a group of “troubled souls.” Jesus went to prepare a place for us, both to the cross and to the right hand of the Father. How do the words of Jesus encourage us today who are living through troubling times and have troubled souls? (John 14.1-18) July 7, 2024.
