Trust God
John 14:1-3 As shown in the previous chapters, the departure of Jesus was near (John 12:35, John 13:33). John 14 begins with a strong prohibition, a negative imperative whichcarries the meaning of “Do not let your hearts be overcome with turmoil” or perhaps, more colloquially, “Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by the situation.” This statement is immediately followed by a call to evidence (= make evident) confidence through the double use of “trust”. [1] Jesus knew that his little band could and would be shaken not only by his words concerning his departure but also by the fact that he would soon become the crucified Lamb. Accordingly, he called for them to place their “trust” not in the power evident in the world but in God and in himself. This direct linkage between God and Jesus has been a fundamental assertion of John, since he identified the Word with God (John 1:1–2) and later Jesus with the Father (John 5:17–30). [1] See v2. The reason the disciples should be able to evidence trust is because Jesus was going to provide preparation for them. That preparation is outlined in the metaphor of the “Father’s house”, which undoubtedly refers to the domain of God. That domain is described as being subdivided into many mansions. [1] See v3. Clearly the details of the place are not mentioned, but the idea that Christians will dwell with their Lord is extremely significant. [1] References [1] Borchert, G. L. (2002).
