A Brighter Day Begins with His Word.

Ryle, J. C. (John Charles), 1816–1900 • SECTION 53

JOHN XIV. 1—3.

← Expository Thoughts on the Gospels — St. John — Volume 3

1 Let not your heart be troub- led : ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In ray father's house are many mausions : if it were not so, I would

have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and re- ceive you unto myself : that where I am, there ye may be also.

The three verses we have now read are rich in pre- cious truth. For eighteen centuries they have been pe- culiarly dear to Christ's believing servants in every part of the world. Many are the sick rooms which they have lightened ! Many are the dying hearts which they have cheered ! Let us see what they contain.

We have, first, in this passage a precious remedy against an old disease. That disease is trouble of heart. That remedy is faith. 3
