* Jesus had just told them He would be betrayed and that He was going away.

* They had lots of questions - Thomas, Philip, & Judas.

* vs 1 - Don’t be troubled - put your trust in God! SECURITY.

* Philip doubted Jesus, so Jesus told him to believe him because of the works He did.

* vs 12 - our belief (commitment) in Him will allow us to do the same works.

* Greater works - Lebron James example & Pentecost.

* Doing these greater works will require two things:

* 1) PRAYER - communion with God.

* vs 13 - KEY: we’ll do greater works in proportion to our desire to do them for Him.

* vs 14 - using Christ’s name is a privilege and responsibility.

* We get what we ask for when it lines up with His will.

* 2) POWER - through the Holy Spirit, but only as we OBEY.

* vs 15 - prayer without obedience is powerless.

* vs 16 - If we obey we get the Holy Spirit, who gives us the power to do greater works.

* vs 17 - “He dwells with you and will be ‘in’ you.”

* vs 18—20 - divine insulation!

* vs 21 - If you obey His commandments He will manifest Himself to them, even though He’s gone.

* vs 22-23 - Judas asks why Jesus isn’t telling the world this stuff.

* Christ responds that His plan is to do it THROUGH US!

* The Holy Spirit is in us to manifest Christ to the world around us.

* Jesus Christ is IN YOU….and He wants out!
