Seven Big ‘Ifs” in John 14
There are seven big ‘ifs’ in John 14, one of the most familiar and loved chapters in the Bible.
Jesus said:
- If it were not so, I would have told you (that in my Father’s house are many mansions) (v. 1).
- If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also (v.3).
- If you had known me, you would have known my Father also (v.7).
- If you ask anything in my name, I will do it (v.14).
- If you love me, keep my commandments (v.15).
- If anyone loves me, he will keep my word (v.23).
- If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, “I am going to the Father” (v.28).
