Love & Light – John 16: 4

I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you…

There is a sense of urgency in the words that Jesus shares this last night on earth. He needs to share information quickly.

There is also a sense that things are changing. The reason for the urgency is that Jesus is going away. When he was with the disciples, certain things were not allowed to happen. The disciples were protected. Now that he is going away, the true nature of the world will be revealed. The disciples and followers of Jesus will come in for a dose of the world’s wrath.

You’ve been warned, Jesus says. He also told them why. He doesn’t want any of His followers to “fall away.”

He has introduced something new into the world. The love of God has taken human form and is about to be sacrificed for the sins of all mankind. Love and light are here. The world is not pleased.

  1. Time is short, whether it is my life or when Jesus returns, either way isn’t too long.

    Thanks, Jeff! Have a great day.

  2. Hi Brent!
    Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 Some people say that time is merely an illusion, a device for organizing our thoughts into past, present and future. Whether short or long, or just an illusion, the truth of Jesus’ love and light remains.
