John 12:28a “Father, glorify your name!” Jesus originally spoke these words. Jesus, our Teacher, wants each of us to realize these words also represent your and my purpose for living. All that we do on this earth should focus on this same thought. We all fall short. That is exactly why we have a Savior.

John 11:35 “Jesus wept.” Jesus lost it? Or is Jesus showing how much He cares for each of us? The latter is certainly the case as Jesus never losses it. His caring nature never changes. Jesus showed extreme emotions in His caring nature in this verse and in the Garden of Gethsemane. When we pray to our Savior we can be sure He hears us with a most caring heart.

John 12:25 “Anyone who loves this life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” In the 1500’s Martin Luther wrote a song expressing the thought—I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my home. Every Christian realizes that same thought. Though life on this earth is intended to be lived in honor to our Heavenly Father life is so short and full of troubles. Our life in eternity is so long with wonders beyond our imagination. Heaven really is our Home. Have a great weekend.

John 11:28m “…’The Teacher is here…'” Martha and Mary knew who Jesus was—The Teacher. You and I also enjoy knowing The Teacher. Now, the question is: Are you and I the learner? What a privilege to be a student of The Greatest Teacher–The Son of God.

John 11:25-26a “Jesus said to her,’I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die…” Jesus never lied. It is impossible for Jesus to be anything other than perfect. When Jesus says you and I will live forever, he is only being true to character and speaking truth. You and I should never fear death as death is our gateway to our wonderful eternity.
