A Glorious Provision
Text: John 14: 13 - 14
A GLORIOUS PROVISION
The ministry of the Lord Jesus on earth was truly extensive and outstanding. He taught powerfully, He healed many of the dreaded diseases. He cast out many demons. But His ministry would not end at His death. He made wonderful provision with reference to prayer especially.
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
John 14:13-14

一个荣耀的供应
主耶稣在世上的职事的确非常广泛与出众。祂以大能教导，医治许多可怕的疾病，也赶走了许多鬼魔。但祂的职事不会因祂的死亡而结束。耶稣做了美好的供应，尤其对于祷告。
“你们奉我的名无论求什么，我必成就，叫父因儿子得荣耀。你们若奉我名求告什么，我必成就。”
《约翰福音 14：13-14》
