411th Post Jesus Said On His Rejection and Death Con't. - John 16: 16.

John 16: 16.
A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.
This was spoken by Jesus the night He was to be betrayed in the upper room. Jesus was prophesying to the disciples, concerning His upcoming death. He was telling them that in a little while they would not see Him, and then after His crucifixion and His resurrection from the dead, they would see Jesus again. This is not the first time Jesus told the disciples that He would die and rise again. After Jesus suffered and died there was no doubt in the disciple's mind that Jesus died. The Romans were very good at killing people, and the disciples had no question that Jesus was dead. The disciples felt that all was lost, that was why they were hiding from the Jewish religious leaders and the Romans. They believed that they would be gathered up and killed. When we look at the resurrection, you will see it took a lot to convince them that Jesus had indeed risen from the dead. As time goes by, people have trouble believing that Jesus suffered and died, and that He rose! Only one Man can make this claim. Satan is going to try to mimic this feat. The only problem with that is Satan does not have the power to take life and give life. This is what makes God, God!
