Jesus Predicts His Death

34 The crowd responded, “We understood from Scripture that the Messiah would live forever. How can you say the Son of Man will die? Just who is this Son of Man, anyway?”

35 Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. 36 Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.”

After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.


God has given each of us a free will and with it, the opportunity to make a choice. The Scriptures express this choice in varying ways.

Right or wrong … good or evil … the wide road or the narrow path … love or hate … heaven or hell … Jesus or the devil.

Jesus describes Himself as light and calls us to put our trust in the light. It is a choice we each make … stumble in the darkness or walk in the light.

Walk in the light, beautiful light;
Come where the dew drops of mercy are bright.
Shine all around us by day and by night;
Jesus, the light of the world.
