If you didn't bring a Bible with you this morning, if you'd raise your hand, the ushers have extra Bibles.

We'd be glad to loan you one, get one to you.

If you didn't bring a Bible, raise your hand.

And let's all turn, please, to the Gospel account of John.

Gospel account of John, John 14, and about verse 21.

John 1421, Jesus is speaking.

And he said, He that has my commandments and keeps them,

he it is that loves me and he that loves me shall be loved of my father and I will love him

and will manifest myself to him the amplified Amplified says, I'll love him and do what?

I'll let myself be clearly seen by him and make myself real to him.

How many are interested in the Lord making himself real to you?

And allowing you to clearly see him.

Keep reading.

Verse 22, Judas said to him, not Judas Ascariat, another Judas.

Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?

How are you going to show yourself to us and you're not going to show yourself to the world?

Without taking the time or going to the scriptures, you know,

God is a God who reveals himself. He's also a God who hides himself. The question is who does he reveal himself to?

And who does he hide himself from? I know that sounds strange to some people, but look up the

scriptures. You'll see what I'm talking about. I know that sounds strange to some people, but look up the scriptures.

You'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm quoting scripture.
