John 14:4-6 And where I go you know, and the way you know.… It serves — I. TO EXERCISE FAITH IN CHRIST. 1. In His omniscience. For He knows — (1) Whither He goes (ver. 5). (2) When He goes (ver. 5). (3) For what purpose (vers. 7-15): to send the Comforter, etc. 2. In His truthfulness (ver. 7). For — (1) Jesus went to His Father. (2) He sent the Comforter. (3) The Comforter has fulfilled His mission. II. FOR CONSOLATION WHEN WE FEEL THE PANG OF SEPARATION. For. — 1. Christ is omniscient. He alone knows — (1) Whither we go. (2) When we are to go. (3) Why we go. 2. Christ is truthful. Therefore we are certain that we go — (1) To the Father. (2) At the hour appointed by Him. (3) Because it is expedient and necessary for our own faith in God's omnipotent love and our sense of dependence on Him. (Pastor Fricke.)
