I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. -- John 14:29
Jesus is faithful to his words. I know this because he has shown me again and again how he brings those things to pass that he said would. In this context specifically, I can believe in all of those promises given in this chapter, because I know that soon after he would die, resurrect and ascend. Even as a grain of wheat must die and be buried in order to bear much fruit, have I allowed myself to give space for Jesus to get all the glory?
Prayer: Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness. Even when I am untrue, you are always true. Help me believe more in your words and promise today. Help me to live as you did. In the same way I identified with your death and resurrection in the waters of baptism, help me to continue that identification today.
