"“Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them.”

Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how can it be that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

Jesus answered him, “Whoever loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and my Father and I will come to him and live with him.

Whoever does not love me does not obey my teaching.

And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.

“I have told you this while I am still with you. The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you."

(John 14.21-26 GNB)

Two people can read a Bible passage and be moved by it differently. Same words. Different impact.

The intent of my heart, the sensitivity my spirit, and the specific reveal from the Father - all work together to accomplish the Father's purpose in my life through the passage.

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, is still very much active in teaching you and me - those who obey Jesus' commandments and love him.

Even if everyone on earth reads the Gospel, not everyone will know Jesus.

If you do not personally know Jesus, I invite you to pray to the Almighty God to reveal Jesus to you. Then read his commandments and love him and obey him. And the Helper will teach you more and more about God. Pray like this:

Almighty God,
please reveal Jesus to me
help me know how much Jesus loves me
help me understand his commandments
help me obey him and love him.
