Jesus shouted to the crowds, 

“If you trust me, 

you are trusting not only me, 

but also God who sent me. 

For when you see me, 

you are seeing the one who sent me. 

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, 

so that all who put their trust in me 

will no longer remain in the dark. 

John 12:44-46

Jesus replied, 

“My light will shine for you just a little longer. 

Walk in the light while you can, 

so the darkness will not overtake you. 

Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. 

Put your trust in the light while there is still time; 

then you will become children of the light.” 

John 12:35-36

(Galveston, TX)

Jesus replied, 

“Now the time has come for the Son of Man

to enter into his glory. 

I tell you the truth, 

unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, 

it remains alone. 

But its death will produce many new kernels—

a plentiful harvest of new lives.

John 12:23-24 

“Father, 

thank you for hearing me. 

You always hear me, 

but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, 

so that they will believe you sent me.” 

Then Jesus shouted, 

“Lazarus, 

come out!”  

And the dead man came out…

John 11:41-44 

Jesus told her, 

“I am the resurrection and the life.

Anyone who believes in me will live, 

even after dying. 

Everyone who lives in me 

and believes in me will never ever die. 

Do you believe this…

John 11:25-26

Keep me safe, 

O God,

for I have come to you for refuge.

I know the Lord is always with me.

I will not be shaken, 

for he is right beside me.

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, 

O God.

Bend down and listen as I pray.

Psalm 16:1, 8; 17:6

My health may fail, 

and my spirit may grow weak,

but God remains the strength of my heart;

he is mine forever.

Psalm 73:26

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.

All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.

Praise him forever!

Praise the Lord!

How joyful are those who fear the Lord

and delight in obeying his commands

Light shines in the darkness for the godly.

They are generous,

compassionate,

and righteous.

Psalm 111:10; 112:1,4

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, 

my place of safety;

he is my God, 

and I trust him.

Psalm 91:2

Lord, 

through all the generations

you have been our home!

Before the mountains were born,

before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from beginning to end, 

you are God.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life,

so that we may grow in wisdom.

Psalm 90:1-2, 12
