John 14:19b NIV, Jesus speaking: “Because I live, you also will live.”
Jesus knows what's coming – He can see into the future. He's explaining that soon he'll be going away, but it's not all bad! Death is not the end! In three days, Jesus expects full and complete resurrection; the tomb will be empty, and Jesus will once again be alive, walking and talking with his friends. He has hope, and he wants all the believers to have that same hope. “Because I live, you also will live!” Life-after-this-life is for ALL believers!
I'm reminded of a famous sermon by Tony Campolo - “It's Friday, but Sunday's Comin'!” The point being that as bad as things looked for Jesus on Good Friday, Sunday was coming! Things would not only get a little better; it would be a complete 180º turn of events! And the same thing is true for all of us! No matter how bleak things look at any given time, hope is always on the horizon! The sun WILL come up tomorrow!
Friday may look bad, but we have hope – Sunday's Comin'!
Blessings and safety today!
