August 30th -- John 12:20-36

Please go read the passage!

Not too much to say on this... I always dislike reading about Jesus predicting his own death, is all, because I can only begin to imagine how horrible that would be - to know you were going to die and what a long, painful death it would be.
I will point out an interesting part at the end, though. And I would point out the part about those who love their life will loose it and those who care nothing for it will keep it, but I know I have talked on that in a previous post. So I wanted to look at the part about walking in the light and becoming children of the light. Jesus says to walk in the light while we still can. At the time, he meant himself. On a bigger scale, though, this may just mean to keep living for God before Jesus' second coming. It also tells us to put our trust in the light while there is still time. Come to know God while we still have time to. There's not an unending time for which people have to choose to find God - either their life ends or this world ends and their chance to be in relationship with God is up. Jesus was warning us not to wait 'til that time is up, but simply do it when we can, and therefore become children of the light, or, basically, become saved. So don't put it on hold. Don't wait until tomorrow. For all you know, tomorrow may not come. Do it now. Do it while you can. And if you already have that relationship with God - awesome. Make it stronger, then. Don't pull  the "I'll work on it Sunday at church." So what if church is only one day of the week? We are still members of Christ's church every day of the week, so try and remember and act like that.

Think on it! God bless! Shalom!
