Lesson 3560

 (Lesson 3560)(10-02-21) John 12:26-33

    “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus said that those who choose to follow Him will be required to go where He goes and be where He is.

    Also the quote relates that Jesus had already glorified God, (by fulfilling the works of the law), and was to be “lifted up” to glorify Him again, meaning that Jesus would be raised as a perfect sacrifice for the souls of mankind.~
