DEVOTION:  John 16:12-22   English Standard Version (ESV)¹² "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. ¹⁵ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
          ¹⁶ "A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me." ¹⁷ So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because I am going to the Father'?" ¹⁸ So they were saying, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We do not know what he is talking about." ¹⁹ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me'? ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. ²¹ When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
 
 
There is so much about God that we still don't know.  He goes above our understanding.  That's what makes Him God and us humans.  We just have to wait for the day when He will make all things new (which we talked about yesterday) and then we will know everything there is to know. 
 
When Jesus died the world rejoiced but the disciples mourned.  Three days later they rejoiced!  Then they were sad as they went through trials and tribulations and persecutions and even martyrdom for their faith, but now they rejoice completely totally forever. 
 
The same is true for us.  We rejoice when we are reminded of the resurrection of Jesus, but we are still in a bit of pain as we struggle with sin, as we struggle with the world, and as we struggle just to stay alive some days.  We mourn at the loss of loved ones.  We mourn as people call things good that the Lord calls sin.  We mourn as we see our brothers and sisters across the world persecuted and martyred for their faith.  But we rejoice with those who have died in the faith as we believe in and find comfort in the communion of saints! 
 
Just a little while longer, whether that is a day, a year, or a hundred years, it is just a blink of an eye compared to the eternity we will spend in paradise with Jesus!  Stay strong my friends!  Stay strong and finish the race!
 
Prayer: Lord, just a little while and we will see you face to face!  Help us to stay strong!  help us to finish he race.  Help us to stand firm in your Word and to trust you for all things. Amen.
