Their plans changed.
Their hopes and dreams were crushed.
They had it in their mind exactly what the Lord Jesus would do.

But that was not going to happen. Listen now as we step into the conversation the Lord Jesus had with his disciples on the night before He would go to the cross for us.

“Let not your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1a).

It was the night before the Lord Jesus would go to the cross to pay the terrible penalty for our sins. It was something for the Lord Jesus that I cannot begin to describe, and certainly it was dreadfully upsetting to the disciples. The Lord Jesus was leaving, and they could not come with Him. Even though He had explained that He was going to die and rise again, they did not understand it. All they knew was that their cherished Master was leaving.

The Lord Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled” (John 14:1).
He reminded them of Who He is, “You believe in God, believe also in Me” (14:1b).
He proclaimed to them what He knows, “In My Father’s house are many mansions” (14:2a).
He reassured them by what He declares, “If it were not so, I would have told you” (14:2b).
He instructed them as to what He is doing, “I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you” (14:2c, 3),
He promised them something wonderful, “I will come again and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also” (14:3b).

Have your plans suddenly changed? Are your hopes and dreams suddenly crushed Think of what the Lord Jesus has promised His people. What is causing your heart to be troubled today?

Join me today as we take time with our Savior and think of what He tells us in John 14.
