Joh 14:1- 4 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.  And you know the way to where I am going." 

Jesus is preparing for His return. Preparing to receive us home. The family of God will be together and Jesus will return to take us to Himself. He is Absolute Love. 

He told His followers that they knew where it was that He was going. 

There is only one way through Jesus He is the gift and the giver all grace is received through Him and in Him. You can't meet God without meeting Jesus. If you have a relationship with Jesus you have seen and know God the Father. 

Joh 14:5 - 7 "Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way? Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."

The followers of Jesus were like us, we have a hard time coming into and understanding spiritual reality. 
Jesus says, " Have I been with you for so long and you still don't know Me." If you knew Me would know and see Father God." "I Am in the Father and the Father is in Me." "The Father and I are ONE." "I Am Yahweh." 

"What I do verifies My relationship to the Father;" Jesus said. "Believe in Me!"

Joh 14:8 - 11 "Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.  Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves."

This is all it takes, but this is the condition of receiving and walking in the Love of God." In loving like God loves." In following the command of Jesus."Love one another as I have Loved You." 
You will have a great Love if you walk with Jesus and ask for Him to put His love within you. He is Absolute Love.

Joh 14:12 - 15 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

This Love is not possible on your own, without help. Without receiving The Helper. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Working in you, through you and for you. 
Orphans are left without a family, you in Jesus are brought into a family. The Spirit of God is there with you and causing you, enabling you to Love others as Christ loves you. 

Joh 14:16 - 19 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live."

Though I leave this world you will see me again soon, when you do you will see and believe. You will know that your life is everlasting in Me. Following after Me receiving Me and obeying Me, will be demonstrating the Love of My Father. My Father and I will love you ans show ourselves to you. 

Joh 14:20, 21  "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

Another follower named Judas, not the betrayer spoke up; "How will you do that?" "How will you show yourself to us and not the entire world?"

Joh 14:22  Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

"If you love Me and demonstrate your love in keeping My Word," Jesus responded; "then you will not be able to keep Me away, I will dwell with you." "You will be My home and be loved by My Father."

"You can say you love Me, but it won't matter unless you keep My Word!" "That is only your Word and it is a lie if you won't obey Me." "My Word is the Word of God, The Father." 

Joh 14:23, 23 "Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.  Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me."
