Jesus said He was going to a place they wouldn't follow Him; and for their unbelief, they would die for their sins. Jesus came to die for our sins but if we don't put our trust in Him, our sins will remain and they'll condemn us.
They wondered whether Jesus was going to commit suicide. He said the difference between Him and then was that He was from above and they were from below. They were of this world but He was not.
This God desires of us; He is always calling us upwards that we may see things from a heavenly point of view. We are called from this world to live with heavenly values. As much as God is able to do this in us, He'll accomplish something through us.
Jesus said to that He had much to say and condemn about them but He said that He won't.
We can also follow Jesus here; though we may have much to say and judge about other christians, we should shut our mouths and mind our own business. God alone is the judge and He has not given us the responsibility of judging others under His care
They never realised that He talked about His Father. It is the crucifixion that will open their eyes to see that He is the Messiah. Jesus did not initiate anything He did but He only spoke as His Father taught Him.
This is the whole secret of Jesus ministry. He listened to the Father and only did what His Father told Him. Many gave many suggestions but He never acted on them; He always asked the Father what He wanted Him to do in every situation. For this reason, God never left Him, and since He only did what His Father taught Him, He always pleased Him in every case and in every situation.
Let's follow Jesus here....let the whole attitude of our lives be; "Lord, speak for your servant is listening". "What do you want me to do?" And we will find that God will always be with us and that we will be pleasing to God in every case and in every situation.
You are blessed to be a blessing
