So That You May Believe and Have Life – The Gospel of John
Part 35 – “True Disciples”
John 13:18–38
We do not and cannot know everything about God and how He works in our life and in our world.
See Deuteronomy 29:29, Job 11:7–8, and 1 Corinthians 13:12…
There are truths unknown to us which God knows…
Jesus knows who His true disciples are: John 13:18–21…
Jesus knows the future: John 13:19…
Jesus knows other people's thoughts: John 13:22–26…
Jesus knows there is spiritual darkness in unbelief and opposition to Him: John 13:27–30…
Jesus’ teaching about loving others: John 13:31–38…
Loving each other means: We must commit to be together.
Loving each other means: We must commit to engage others.
Loving each other means: We must commit to honor one another.
