This morning, the Pray-As-You-Go reading was out of John 14. As I listened to the reading about Jesus being the Way to the Father, I was reminded of something. The reading ended with verse 14 (take a look at John 14:13-14 here). The question then asked for meditation was this: “Do I take seriously Jesus’ promise in these verses?”
Jesus made it clear that he would do whatever we ask, when we ask it in his name but what does that mean?
Jesus used a phrase, “in my name” to clarify that our requests must be in line with his heart – in other words, we need to be asking in the frame of mind of the old question, “What would Jesus do?” I think verse 13 helps us understand this idea a little better. Jesus tells his followers that the purpose is for the Father to be glorified through the Son.
As long as God will receive glory, Jesus will do anything we ask of him.
Do you truly believe that whatever you ask of Jesus, he will do?
That is a promise I plan on meditating on all day!
