Transitions: Reflecting on John 14:1-21Sample

Assignment
Helplessness is a common feeling when we are in a difficult transition. So, having something meaningful to do can foster resiliency. Part of Jesus' shepherding was pointing the disciples to the task ahead of them: they were to continue the works he has been doing (v. 12), pray in his name (v. 13-14), and obey his commandments (v. 15, 21). How might these assignments impact them and their mission (v. 19)? How would doing these assignments enable them to stay in a loving relationship with him (v. 21)? Ask Jesus to show you what particular assignment he has for you at this time.
Scripture
About this Plan

On the night before his death, when Jesus could have been preoccupied with himself, he takes time to shepherd his friends through the difficult transition of him no longer being together with them physically. He masterfully employs empathy, vision, and assurances to strengthen the disciples' faith. We can learn from him as we seek to care for others in times of uncertainty or difficulty and during our own transitions.
