1. You believe at last! (25-31)

Jesus wanted his disciples to know who he was and why he had come. He came from God, with God's mission to die for the sins of the world. Soon he would complete that mission and return to God. He wanted them to know that, no matter what, God loves those who love Jesus. Those who love Jesus can pray, and God will hear. The disciples finally accepted Jesus' words and confessed their faith. Jesus was now ready to leave.

2. I am not alone (32-33)

Jesus knew that their faith was weak, even though they had accepted his words and believed in him. Head-knowledge is a start, but it is not enough. In the moment of crisis, his disciples would all run away. But Jesus would not run away. He trusted God, not his sheep. The Father was with him. Jesus overcame the world and he gives victory and peace to those who believe in him.


Prayer: Lord, I believe that you love me and that you died for me. Help me to overcome the world.

One Word: Faith is the victory
