Lessons from the Upper Room: Be Strong, Christ Has Overcome the World

What would you give for the chance to spend one evening with Jesus, to listen to His teachings and hear His prayer? Such an evening is described in the Gospel of John 13-17, in the chapters known as the "Farewell Discourse." The cross was already near, and Jesus dedicates the last hours of His life to prepare His disciples for His death, to calm their anxiety, and to pray for them to His Father. In "Lessons from the Upper Room," Sinclair Ferguson reflects on these hours of intimate communion between Jesus and the apostles. The vivid picture of Christ's ministry—from washing feet to the high priestly prayer—reveals to us the heart of the Lord. Therefore, learn what Jesus wants to give His people, and bow before the suffering Savior who has overcome the world.
