Day 87 - John 16:25-33

25 “I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father. 26 Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God. 28 Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”

29 Then his disciples said, “At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively. 30 Now we understand that you know everything, and there’s no need to question you. From this we believe that you came from God.”

31 Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? 32 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Verse 26-27 sticks out today... "you will ask in my name.  I'm not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, for the Father himself loves you so dearly because you love me and believe that I game from God."
We can go to our Father in heaven and ask him in the name of Jesus because we love Jesus and believe he is the son of God.  Jesus was pretty clear that we have authority to ask all things in his name.  He was really plain about who he was and what he came to do as he walked on this earth.  He revealed all of these things so that we would know that even though we face trials and sorrows here on earth He has overcome the world.  We can have peace in Jesus.
