You Will No Longer Ask Me Anything

John 16:23,27 – In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name…No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Matthew 7:7 – “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

John 14:13 – And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Application:

• ·         Persistent prayer is being emphasized.
• ·         Christ is explaining why the disciples can come directly to the Father in prayer: They have loved and trusted in Jesus, and in love God will hear their requests in Jesus’ name.
• ·         It is prayer aimed at carrying forward the work Jesus did—prayer that He Himself will answer.
