Difficult
times lay ahead for Jesus. He would be betrayed by Judas Iscariot
(21-30). He would be denied by Peter (36-38). For Jesus, there was His
departure (31-33). It would be a difficult time for His followers. He
tells them to 'love one another': 'By this all men shall know that they
are His disciples' (34-35). Jesus points them beyond the difficult
times. He speaks of His glorious future. He assures them that the best
is yet to be. He is preparing a place in His 'Father's House' for us. He
will come again to take us to Himself (1-3). He is the Way to this
place, the true and living way (6). Now, He reveals the Father to us
(9). Now, He is working in and through us (12-14). He is preparing us
for His place: 'Lord Jesus...fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there'
(Church Hymnary, 195).
