Summary

Philip asks Jesus for something I think most of us can identify with. He asks Jesus to actually show them God. And at this, Jesus is exasperated. Philip’s saying, “We believe in God, but it’s hard. So give us just one view, and that will be enough for the rest of our lives.” And essentially, Jesus says, “I’m offering you something greater than a vision, that through me you can know God.” Let’s look at 1) what is possible, that through Jesus we can know God, 2) how it’s possible, and 3) why it’s possible. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 22, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Confidence. Scripture: John 14:7-11.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel in Life.
0:05.0	What keeps your faith from unraveling when trouble comes your way?
0:10.0	On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus told his disciples to not let their hearts be afraid.
0:16.0	Today, Tim Keller shows us how Jesus offers a new kind of confidence that is rooted in something far more secure
0:22.7	than our circumstances.
0:27.9	The scripture reading this morning is from John, chapter 14, verses 7 to 11.
0:45.0	If from John chapter 14 verses 7 to 11 if you really know me you will know my father as well from now on you do know him and have seen him philip said lord show us the father and that
0:53.7	will be enough for us. Jesus answered,
0:57.6	Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen
1:05.7	me has seen the Father. How can you say, show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that
1:14.8	the Father is in me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the
1:22.6	Father living in me who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the father and the
1:30.4	father is in me, or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. This is the word of
1:37.3	the Lord. John chapter 13 to 17 is Jesus training session with the disciples the night before he dies.
1:49.9	He's sending them out into the city, out into the world, and he's training them to go out and
1:58.7	represent him.
2:00.0	One of the reasons why we this year are reading through this entire section
2:04.2	and studying John chapter 13 to 17 is that through the rise campaign,
2:08.0	we have also been asking God to take Redeemer and to send us out in the city
2:13.0	in a heightened and new way.
2:15.3	So we're studying the same material
2:18.1	as the first, those disciples.
