This is the first part in a series on the upper room discourse by Br Fred Kosin. The Lord Jesus Christ wanted his disciples to hear, remember, recognize and absorb everything he taught them before his betrayal. This was so that they would be prepared for the enormous responsibility after he was taken from them. As a result, Br. Kosin begins with an introduction to these 5 chapters, which are derived from key insights in these chapters.
