It really hurts when we open our lives up to people and love them but they feel like we are holding back from them. Maybe this has happened to you, or you've done that to somebody else. You had a wrong intention towards someone who only had good things for you. Well, Jesus is being questioned by the disciples, after three to three and a half years with Him, they still ask things like, "how can we find the way" to where Jesus was going and also "show us the Father and it'd be enough". There is still a deficiency in their faith. They don't realize that Jesus is all we need. He is the way, the truth and the life. And to see Him is to see the Father. He is this exact representation of His Being. Today we will talk about how Jesus calls the disciples to trust Him, readying them to declare the message of faith, the gospel, to the world, after He goes back to be with the Father. They would do it by the power of the Holy Spirit. Not only to trust and to declare, but also to pray and ask God that He would glorify the Son that He too might receive glory. A huge part of our lives as a Christian is to pray, is to ask God to help others, to challenge others, that as Paul would say, Christ may be formed in them. For we know that our message, though it is heavenly, must be won by which we ask God in heaven to empower the work and the message that we preach and do.
