427th Post Jesus Said About Predictions About His Ascension and Glorification Con't. - John 16: 5 -6

John 16: 5 - 6.
But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, "Where are you going?" But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Jesus spoke these words the night of His betrayal in the upper room in Jerusalem. This is the third time Jesus has mentioned His going away since they all have been in the upper room. Jesus knows that they have no clue what the next hours and days will bring. Even though He has told them again and again. Jesus sees that they are sad about His leaving them, and they are sad that He is leaving. They have no concept of why Jesus must go, or what will happen because of His leaving. It is interesting that I am posting this during lent. Some of you reading this that are not western Christians may not know about lent. Catholics and older Protestant Churches recognize Lent. This is the 40 days before Easter that we reflect on the Passion of Jesus. How many of us, like the disciples of Jesus go through life, knowing that Jesus died for us, but not understanding that by our own sins, we are still crucifying Jesus today. To be a Christian means to walk with Jesus, in order to do that you must keep His Words, this requires action. You need to do both in order to be a Christian. Anything less is faux! What are you?? Only you can change it, if you don't like the answer.
