John 14:21-31
Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
Jesus' own unshakeable peace will be theirs. For their part, the disciples must continue to love and trust him. And the way to show their love is to do all that he says.
Why?
In this world, many people are not chosen by the Lord so they won't follow Jesus and reject Jesus as their father.
Only those who love Jesus will obey Jesus' teaching and the lord love them.
The Holy Spirit teaches us all things and reminds us of everything. So the Lord is living with us.
All of the disciples were not understood, but when Jesus goes back to the Father, they will know all of these.

愛主的人應當遵守主的命令: 遵守主的命令就是愛主的人。父也會愛他,父會向他顯現,不是指形象出現。會與這個人同在。猶太人相信末日時神會與他們同住,耶穌這裏指的不是猶太人,而是愛主的人,包括外邦人。三位一體的神與我們同住,這個福氣在聖靈來了就會經歷到。
聖靈的工作:1)保護、施恩,教導、安慰 ,指教人,叫人想起耶穌的話:啟示在人的心裏。回應我們的禱告。與神的道神的話語有關。雖然醫病、說方言等也是聖靈的同在,但是卻不是約翰福音所提及的聖靈工作。2)賜下平安:門徒會擔憂耶穌走了怎麼辦? 聖靈降下,心中一定有平安、喜樂超過世上能給的。3)豐盛的祝福:愛耶穌就該為耶穌回到父神那裏而高興,體會耶穌的感受,不要只為自己想,要與耶穌一同高興。神不會叫我們經歷我們不能不承擔的事。讓我們心裏也有主,體會耶穌的心、神的心。

How?
Jesus is the Lord, Jesus and Holy Spirit and the Father are all in one to teach us and bless us. Jesus gives us the peace is not like this world.
