Daily Walk Through the New Testament
August 31
Read John 13:36-14:24

The hearts of the disciples were heavy as Jesus talked about going away. As the room grew silent, Jesus comforted them. He was like a man leaving His fiancée  and promising to return. The bride-to-be was deeply saddened, but Jesus, the loving Bridegroom, spoke to His bride’s heart: “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2). He was saying, “I am building a home for us to live in together, and I will come for you.” He also said He would send another Helper, a Comforter. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come and speak to her heart every day, reminding her of His love and showing her His promises.
As the bride of Christ, treasure Jesus’ words of love, and express love back to Him by doing His will and keeping His commandments.
