Wana appLast Will & Testament: The Last Apostle | John 14:15-31Chikamu
“If you love me, keep my commands.” It’s what Jesus says in John 14:15. For him, love and obedience go hand-in-hand. Jesus is going away. The cross awaits. He’s making that clear. And even though he’ll rise from the dead, his time on earth with his disciples will be short-lived. These are final, intimate moments never to be repeated. But he will not leave us alone. He’ll send his Spirit to be with us, even though he is going away.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments and words with his disciples, preparing them for his crucifixion to come. It is Jesus’s last will & testament. This plan focuses on the second half of Jesus's words in John 14 and is part of an ongoing series.
