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. 

I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, 

for I have come to save the world and not to judge it.

But all who reject me and my message 

will be judged on the day of judgment 

by the truth I have spoken. 

John 12:44-48

Then Jesus told them, 

“The voice was for your benefit, 

not mine. 

The time for judging this world has come, 

when Satan, 

the ruler of this world, 

will be cast out. 

And when I am lifted up from the earth, 

I will draw everyone to myself.”

John 12:30-32  

Those who love their life in this world will lose it. 

Those who care nothing for their life in this world 

will keep it for eternity. 

Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, 

because my servants must be where I am. 

And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.

John 12:25-26

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
