Devotion by:
On that day you will ask nothing of me. Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
In this section of John, Jesus is talking about a new relationship between the believer and God. He is attempting to prepare his disciples for new events, things being different. In the past, believers could only approach God through priests. But with Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers can have a direct relationship with God. Jesus has made us acceptable to God.
PRAYER: Our Father, you have sent Jesus to show us the way. Teach us to ask in Jesus’ name and then to be open to the joy we have been promised in receiving the many gifts and blessing you give to us. Amen.
