The Harmony of the Gospels – Week 39 – The Farewell Discourse, Pt 1

Jesus delivers His final public teaching before the Last Supper, explaining that His approaching death is necessary—like a grain of wheat that must fall and die to bear much fruit—and asking the Father to glorify His name, prompting an audible response from heaven. Though many witnessed miracles and even heard God’s voice, some still refused to believe, while others believed secretly but would not confess Him for fear of losing status or being cast out of the synagogue. John emphasizes that true faith requires openly embracing Christ, and Pastor Bob reminds believers that everything Jesus did—including the cross—was for the glory of God, shaping how we pray, live, and seek Him today.
