Exaudi (Easter 7) Sermon 2017
John 15:25—16:4
Rev. Benjamin Tyler Holt
Jesus says, “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away” (John 16:1).
We see, very clearly, what Jesus desires: that you do not fall away.
He wants everyone to live and reign with Him forever. He wants us to have and keep the faith, be baptized, eat and drink His Body and Blood for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus wants us to be saved.
And to that end, Jesus says “all these things” to us.
But what are “all these things”?
