After that last supper, Jesus gave the church words of comfort, encouragement, and
challenge. He told them not to let their hearts be troubled (14:1). He told them if they
asked anything in his name it would be granted (14:14). He reminded them they would
never be abandoned or orphaned (14:18). He told them that he would send the Spirit to
teach and remind them of all they needed (14:26). He promised them that, despite it all, at
the center of the storm of their lives there would be a great peace -- the peace of God
(14:27).
