THE UPPER ROOM DISCOURSE
Jesus’ last words to His disciples
(current series)
The gospel writer John, who was one of three disciples with whom Jesus spent most of His time, recorded for us some of the last words of Jesus to his disciples. The disciples and Jesus are sitting around the table having just eaten the Passover Feast. Jesus has just finished giving about the bread and the cup and Judas has just left to betray Him. The disciples are attentive and we will follow their lead. John 13-16 will be our target text this semester as we read, study, and apply Jesus’ priorities for us. We’ll discuss what He says about His relationship with God, the Father and God, the Holy Spirit. We will affix ourselves on how Jesus understood His eternal purpose and completed it unto death. It’s one of my favorite sections of Scripture!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!” -Jesus, John 16:33
