Subject of Sermon: Jesus tells his disciples that in him the Father has been revealed, and he promises the gift of another Counselor, the Spirit of truth, to be with them.
Sermon By: The Rev. Karen Cuffie at The Episcopal Church in Almaden.
Today's Gospel Reading: John 14:8-17, 25-27
“ Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied."
Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still
do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you
say, `Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and
the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my
own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I
am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe
me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who
believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater
works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you
ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my
name you ask me for anything, I will do it.
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever.
This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it
neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with
you, and he will be in you." ”
