1. 从被排斥到被误解（V2-3）
主预告信徒将面对误解、孤立甚至攻击。这些的逼迫源于属灵的盲目，因为他们不认识父与子，使人以为逼迫是侍奉神。因此，当我们面对误解与排斥时，我们不需要惊讶，因主已预告。
2. 预先告知坚固信心（V4）
主预告不是制造恐惧，而是帮助门徒预备心志。同样，神告诉我们会遇到的困难，是为了让我们预备、刚强，而不是绝望。
小结：主没有隐藏信仰的风暴，而是预先装备我们，使我们在试炼中能靠主站立得稳。
1. 圣灵的来临更为有益（V5–7）
耶稣表示祂的离开，为了使圣灵降临。祂内住在每一位信徒心中，成为他们随时的帮助与引导。今天，圣灵在我们里面，使我们在风暴中也能得力。
2. 圣灵光照人归向真理（V8–11）
圣灵使人认罪悔改，明白义与审判。人见证的转变，关键是圣灵动工。因此，今天当我们传福音的时候，要门要倚靠圣灵，而不是靠技巧。
3. 圣灵引导人进入真理（V12–15）
圣灵会引导我们明白真理、活出信仰。圣灵也不说自己的话，乃是荣耀基督，将基督的话启示给人。今天我们读经、听道、决策，若依靠圣灵，就会进入更深的真理。
小结：主没有应许免去风暴，却赐下圣灵成为随时的帮助、安慰和引导。
1. 主的暂离使人困惑（V16–18）
门徒因主说“看不见又要看见”感到疑惑。然而，主的计划远远超过他们当下的理解。因此，在困惑中，不要急于结论‘神不在’。祂可能只是“暂时隐身”，在预备一个更荣耀的显现。
2. 忧愁必要转为喜乐（V19–20）
主明说：“你们要忧愁，但忧愁要变为喜乐”原来，风暴不是终点，而眼泪是通向喜乐的必经路。
3. 苦痛过后见着新生（V21–22）
耶稣以妇人生孩子的比喻，带出痛苦之后的喜乐。因为主的喜乐无人能夺，是复活的应许与永恒的保障。
小结：苦难虽真实，但主应许之后的喜乐更深、更持久。眼泪之后，是更新的生命。
1.奉主之名坦然祷告（V23）
耶稣说，我们可以奉祂的名直接向天父祈求。这是信徒的特权与信心基础，我们能因着耶稣，坦然无惧地来到神的施恩宝座前。
2.得着应允满有喜乐（V24）
耶稣让门徒知道，祷告是通往喜乐的途径，不仅因神回应，更因与神连接。
3.天父爱人不离不弃（V25–27）
天父主动的爱，使我们可以坦然无惧地向祂倾心吐意。
1. 主掌使命，胜过世界（V28）
耶稣深知祂从父而来、完成救恩，掌管始末。这是耶稣对自己生平使命的总结。
2. 门徒软弱，主仍扶持（V29–32）
耶稣带出门徒信心不成熟，但祂仍以怜悯与盼望鼓励门徒前行。今天，耶稣知道我们的软弱。然而，祂的胜利不建立在我们的坚强上，而是在祂自己已完成的得胜中。
3. 主已得胜，人有平安（V33）
耶稣不是说我们不会经历风暴。反而，祂让我们知道，苦难虽有，但在基督里我们可以勇敢面对，因祂已胜了世界。
风浪再大，有主同行，我们就有平安。敌人再强，主已得胜，我们就有盼望。

Overcoming in the Storm Through the Lord
07/05/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella
1. From Rejection to Misunderstanding （V2–3)
The Lord foretells that believers will face misunderstanding, isolation, and even persecution. These arise from spiritual blindness—because they do not know the Father or the Son, they mistakenly think they are serving God by persecuting others. Thus, when we encounter misunderstanding and rejection, we should not be surprised, for the Lord has already forewarned us.
2. Forewarning to Strengthen Faith （V4)
The Lord's warnings are not to instill fear but to prepare His disciples. Likewise, God informs us of coming trials not to bring despair but to ready and strengthen us.
Summary: The Lord does not hide the storms of faith but equips us in advance so we can stand firm in trials through Him.
1. The Coming of the Holy Spirit Is More Beneficial （V5–7)
Jesus said His departure would allow the Holy Spirit to come. The Spirit dwells in every believer, offering constant help and guidance. Today, the Holy Spirit within us empowers us even amid the storm.
2. The Spirit Convicts and Leads to Truth （V8–11)
The Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Transformation in people’s lives is the work of the Spirit, not human ability. Therefore, when we share the gospel, we must depend on the Spirit, not technique.
3. The Spirit Guides Into All Truth （V12–15)
The Holy Spirit leads us to understand and live out the truth. He doesn’t speak on His own but glorifies Christ and reveals His words to us. Today, whether reading the Bible, listening to sermons, or making decisions, if we rely on the Spirit, we will go deeper into truth.
Summary: The Lord did not promise to remove storms but gave us the Holy Spirit as our ever-present help, comfort, and guide.
1. The Lord’s Temporary Absence Brings Confusion （V16–18)
The disciples were puzzled when Jesus said, “You will not see Me, then you will see Me.” But God’s plan far surpasses human understanding. In our confusion, we shouldn’t rush to conclude “God is absent.” He may simply be “hidden” as He prepares a greater revelation.
2. Sorrow Will Turn into Joy （V19–20)
Jesus said clearly, “You will weep and lament... but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” The storm is not the end—tears are often the path to joy.
3. New Life After Pain （V21–22)
Jesus used the metaphor of a woman giving birth to show the joy that comes after pain. His joy cannot be taken away—it is the promise of resurrection and eternal security.
Summary: Though suffering is real, the Lord promises a joy that is deeper and lasting. After tears comes renewed life.
1. Boldly Pray in Jesus’ Name （V23)
Jesus said we can pray directly to the Father in His name. This is the believer’s privilege and the foundation of our confidence—we can approach God’s throne of grace boldly through Jesus.
2. Joy Comes Through Answered Prayer （V24)
Jesus taught that prayer leads to joy—not just because of answered requests, but because of connection with God.
3. The Father’s Love Never Fails （V25–27)
The Father’s proactive love allows us to open our hearts to Him without fear.
1. The Lord Knows His Mission and Overcomes （V28)
Jesus knew He came from the Father and would return, having completed salvation. This is His own summary of His life’s mission.
2. The Disciples’ Weakness, The Lord’s Support （V29–32）
Though the disciples’ faith was still weak, Jesus responded with compassion and hope. Today, Jesus understands our weaknesses. His victory is not based on our strength, but on His completed triumph.
3. The Lord Has Overcome—We Have Peace （V33)
Jesus never promised a storm-free life. Instead, He told us to be courageous because in Him, we have peace—He has already overcome the world.
No matter how fierce the storm, we have peace because the Lord is with us. No matter how strong the enemy, we have hope because the Lord has overcome.
