04/01/2023 – Gospel of John Fellowship – Chapter 16
I encourage y’all to take a look at the post from last cycle, searching on date: “02/17/2022”. It is titled : “Birth Travail of the Days of Messiah”.
“Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be complete.” John 16:24:

Here is the footnote comment in my Apologetics Bible for the same verse:
’16:24. Obviously, the disciples had asked Jesus about and for many things, but here He was referring to arrangements after His death and resurrection. Then, since He would be physically absent, they would ask god ‘in My name’ — that is, through Jesus’ power and in keeping with His character. This was even less a blank check than 14:14; 15:16, and 16:23, since Jesus did not specify what God would grant in response to their asking, merely that they would receive.”
Soli Deo Gloria!
