i. 25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’
If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming.
He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.
Rise, let us go from here.
Pheasant vid?

Moments of Crisis tend to reveal what we really believe.
The Instructions: Don't let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Ok, so how do we even do that?
When everything is going great, we will give lip service to things we don’t really believe.

A lot of times, even we believe what we say.
First lets identify the problem:
A lot of times, even we believe what we say.
But how we act and the things we turn to in a moment of crisis give us a much more accurate picture of our character and true beliefs.
The Struggle: The Disciples in vv.
28
But how we act and the things we turn to in a moment of crisis give us a much more accurate picture of our character and true beliefs.
One of my favorite pictures of this truth is in :
You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’
If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
One of my favorite pictures of this truth is in :
The disciples self-focus has them in disagreement with God's plan and priorities.
Jesus says to his disciples “let us go across to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.”
Jesus says to his disciples “let us go across to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.”
They are thinking about the circumstances instead of seeing how they fit into God's plan.
So they get in a boat, Jesus falls asleep, and a huge storm comes up.
So great that even the professional fishermen among the disciples were afraid for their lives.

So great that even the professional fishermen among the disciples were afraid for their lives.
And we face that exact same struggle
They wake Jesus up, “Jesus, don’t you care that we are perishing!”
They wake Jesus up, “Jesus, don’t you care that we are perishing!”
Jesus wakes up and says to the storm “Peace, be still.”
But If we saw things how God sees them, we would have a totally different perspective on life.
Jesus wakes up and says to the storm “Peace, be still.”
This is such a perfect picture for us, because at this point, it’s early in Jesus’s ministry.
He has just called the disciples, so they still don’t fully understand who He is.

He has just called the disciples, so they still don’t fully understand who He is.
And that would radically change how we live.
But before they got in the boat He said “let’s go to the other side.”
The Example: Jesus in verses 30-31
But before they got in the boat He said “let’s go to the other side.”
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming.
He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.
If the God of the universe tells you you’re going to the other side of the lake--where are you going to end up?

The other side of the lake!
See Jesus is staring down suffering that we can never imagine.
The other side of the lake!
Satan is putting in place a plan to prosecute and murder Jesus.
But in the midst of the journey, this storm arises, and it makes the disciples afraid.
And in human terms they are totally right: this storm even scares the professional fishermen like Peter, James, and John.

It’s a big storm.
So they are concerned that the plan has changed, and that they are going to die.
"The ruler of this world is coming."
It’s a big storm.
So they are concerned that the plan has changed, and that they are going to die.
And even to the disciples, it's going to temporarily look like the enemy wins.
But what did Jesus, the Son of God, tell them before they got into the boat?

Let’s go to the other side.
But Jesus knows something He doesn't: "He has no claim on me."
Let’s go to the other side.
At this point they didn’t fully know Him, so it makes sense.
But even when we know God, and the truth of His word, in the midst of a storm it is easy to let go of His truths and his promises.

Satan doesn't win because Jesus is defeated.
Jesus goes to the cross out of obedience, not obligation.
And through this defeat He accomplishes God's ultimate victory, and the devil's ultimate defeat.
And this is the exact challenge the disciples are facing in , at the Last Supper before Jesus is betrayed and executed:
And this is the exact challenge the disciples are facing in , at the Last Supper before Jesus is betrayed and executed:
Jesus keeps saying scary things: I’m gonna die.
You are going to be scattered.
You’re going to betray me.
I’m leaving you, and going back to the Father.

You are going to be scattered.

I’m leaving you, and going back to the Father.
The Equipment: (à don't read italicized) God's Presence, His Plans, and His Promises.
So Jesus has told us to not be troubled or afraid.
And we see this awesome example of Him living that out.
Well naturally that freaks them out.
And as Peter is going to find out just hours from now, fear can make you do things you’d be ashamed of.

And Jesus knows this about them, and about us.
