Today we pick up our study in the Gospel of John by considering Jesus' farewell discourse (John 13-17). Yes, Jesus was about to leave His followers and return to heaven to sit again with His Father on the throne of the universe. But if we are to "follow" Jesus and Jesus is no longer with us then how do we follow Him? THAT is what this portion of Scripture is about. THAT is what we will consider together as we begin again our study in John.
