About the Series
The Apostle John recorded what Jesus said and did with His apostles the night of his arrest, and before His crucifixion the next day. It is referred to as the “Upper Room Discourse” and is found in John’s Gospel, chapters 13-17. The disciples had forsaken everything to follow Jesus. Within twenty-four hours He would be dead, and all their hopes and dreams shattered. That night Jesus wanted to be intentional about some specific things that would sustain them in the spiritual darkness that would follow His death. John wrote that Jesus took that opportunity to show them the “full extent of His love” (John 13:1 NIV). The purpose of this series is to highlight what was foremost on His mind the night before He died. There is a wealth of spiritual insight and understanding that we can apply to our lives today by being “with Jesus in the Upper Room.”
