LC Day 38

John 14-16 in the Lent Challenge

It was strange and actually quite hard to read today. Perhaps it was because I what’s coming tomorrow and being on the actual day of good friday it feels so much more real. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Coming straight after the passover meal and first communion, I can’t imagine how confusing it must have been for the disciples. “What do mean you’re going away and someone else is coming? Where are you going?  What will you be doing?  Who’s this other person?  Do we know them?”

Again love runs through everything Jesus says, “I love you, the Father loves you and I love the father.”.

I think 15: 13 sums it up for me “The greatest love a person can have is to die for his friends.”.

Looking towards tomorrow, that is a truly amazing statement.
