Reading for the Day

I am terrible about keeping up with anything that has to be done daily except for working, eating, and my family. Now, I argue that those are the most important things and so it doesn't matter but there are things that I wish I could keep up with more regularly. The first is reading my Bible, the second is remembering to take my medicine :)

Today I read John 16:1-33 It is the part where Jesus is telling the disciples that he is leaving and that it was necessary for the sacrifice for the sins of man. They are so confused and I can't blame them. Can you imagine? Your whole life you have heard that there is a Messiah coming that will save the world. You were probably thinking or had heard that it would be a king. And now, just as the word of Jesus is getting around and waves are being made he starts talking about leaving???

Those poor special men and what they went through in the next months, I can't imagine. I hope some day in heaven I get to hear about it first hand from them!

Take time to do what you should today and pray the same for me.
