Some people find this saying of Jesus among the most difficult verses in all of Scripture: “If you ask anything in my name I will do it” (John 14:14).
So, then, how are we to understanding it?
- To ask in His name means to have lively faith in His resurrection and His mercy.
- To ask in His name means to seek those things that genuinely lead us those whom we place before Him closer to Almighty God and eternal life.
- To ask in His name means to expect Jesus to fulfill His promise.
Our Lord promises us that every time we go to Him for help, He will look after us.
