409th Post Jesus Said On His Rejection and Death Con't. - John 13: 36.

John 13: 36.
Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.
This was spoken by Jesus on Maundy Thursday, in the upper room the night of His betrayal. Only His disciples were with Jesus at this time. This was not the first time Jesus would tell the disciples that they could not follow Him. The first time was to James and John when they wanted to sit on the right and left hand of Jesus. Jesus prophesied to James and John that they could not follow in the same death as Jesus. Jesus is telling the rest of the disciples, that they also can not follow Jesus in death at this time. Many of them will follow this same path later in their lives. After Jesus is killed, He will be ascending to His Father in Heaven. They will not be able to follow until it is their time comes. When it comes to our time to die, Jesus tells us that we will follow Him. This is a promise He made to us. It is comforting for us to know that Jesus will come Himself, and take us with Him. Jesus is the Son of God, and therefore can not lie. That makes this promise all the more comforting. Heaven and earth may pass away but God's Words will never pass away. Jesus wants a personal relationship with all people. Do you have this relationship yet??
