2. Someone read John 14:4-6.

* Besides the Bible, what sources have you most trusted for guidance over the past year i.e. CDC, WHO, FOX, CNN, Drudge Report, government officials etc?

* What has been your general attitude toward fellow believers who have seen things differently than you do i.e. COVID-19, racism, protests, restrictions etc?

3. Someone read John 14:7-11

**“Jesus”**
- All divine names and titles are applied to Him. He is called God, the mighty God, the great God, God over all; Jehovah; Lord; the Lord of lords and King of kings.
- All divine attributes are ascribed to Him. He is declared to be omnipresent, omniscient, almighty and immutable, the same yesterday, today and forever.
- He is set forth as the creator and upholder and ruler of the universe. All things were created by Him and for Him; and by Him all things consist.
- He is the object of worship to all intelligent creatures, even the highest; all the angels (i.e., all creatures between man and God) are commanded to prostrate themselves before Him. He is the object of all the religious sentiments; of reverence, love, faith, and devotion.
- To Him men and angels are responsible for their character and conduct. He required that man should honor Him as they honored the Father; they should exercise the same faith in Him that they do in God. He declares that He and the Father are one, that those who had seen Him had seen the Father also.
- He calls all men unto him; promises to forgive their sins; to send them the Holy Spirit; to give them rest and peace; to raise them up at the last day; and to give them eternal life.
- God is not more and cannot promise more or do more than Christ is said to be, to promise and to do. He has, therefore, been the Christian's God from the beginning, in all ages and in all places.

* Respond in prayer, focusing on the part that most inspires or encourages you.
