In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
“That day” is a day when Jesus is seen again. “That day” is after Jesus has ascended. “That day” is when the Advocate has come to make his home in our life.
Now Jesus returns to the theme of asking. As anything. Ask in His name. Ask and you will receive. Ask, and your joy will be complete.
Wow.
Food for thought: Have you asked the Father for anything? Has it been given to you?

Yes. He has been gracious to me. But He has not given me anything I asked, only what is asked in His name – or in His will and according to His purpose.
Ah yes… the question of context! Jesus has explained this in more detail in other passages in John. Thank you, Rich!
It is clearly in God’s will that I don’t win the lottery…Even the small ones!
Have a blessed day guys!
