Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jesus promise about the Father's house, about himself as the way, and about the Holy Spirit in this chapter?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Jesus ties love and obedience together: 'If you love me, keep my commands.' What does that connection reveal about your love for him right now?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • 'Do not let your hearts be troubled… Trust in God; trust also in me.' What trouble will you deliberately hand over to him this week — and what will you do instead of worrying?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Jesus said, 'No one comes to the Father except through me.' Who needs to hear that there is a way — and how will you tell them gently this week?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you are the way and the truth and the life, and you did not leave us as orphans — you sent the Helper. Calm my troubled heart, and teach me to love you by obeying you.
