Closing Blessing: John 14: 23-29


All who love me will do what I say.
My Father will love them,
and we will come and make our home with each of them.

Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me.
And remember, my words are not my own.
What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.

I am telling you these things now while I am still with you.
But when the Father sends the Holy Spirit as my representative
he will teach you everything
and will remind you of everything I have told you.

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart.
And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.
So don’t be troubled or afraid.
