Live long enough and you will see a pattern in the choices you have made throughout your life; you acted in accordance with your beliefs. Not only do we all have beliefs, but at some level and usually more deeply that we would like to admit, we believe into those beliefs. Hypocrisy is when we say we believe something but our history proves otherwise. Hypocrites still believe into something, its just different than what they told you. The great struggle seems to be the object of belief, the search for truth.
Jesus came to testify to the truth. He is the light shining in the darkness, calling us from darkness into light. To be a Christian is more than believing that God exists, it is living life in the light of the love of God. Jesus lived in the light of the Father’s love. Accordingly, he did the work of the Father. Jesus encouraged the disciples not to be troubled, but to believe in God and in himself (John 14:1). The disciples would realize over time that to believe in this way would be to love, trust and follow Jesus as they had now shared in the eternal love made manifest between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And as they followed Jesus they would indeed do ‘greater works’ than what they had seen and witnessed in Jesus thus far. What are those greater works? Listen to this sermon on John 14:1-14 to find out!
