Everything

Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”

            Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me. I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”

Can you imagine living in that moment? Being one of the chosen twelve disciples? Being one of the men whom Jesus entrusted with EVERYTHING about His life? And trying to understand it all.

We don’t realize how lucky we are. We have the entire Bible to study and learn from. We aren’t living in the moment, two thousand years ago, being told by our Teacher that bad things were going to happen to Him and then watching this Friend die on that cross.

But we still don't know everything. All we have is the indescribable joy of knowing that He rose from the grave on the third day.
