"Final Instructions" [John - Core Series] (John 16: 17-33)
“And all the world rejoices”,
Thus goes the Christmas song,
Except this is at Easter,
When everything went wrong.He said it is like childbirth,
With all that noise and pain;
And then it is all over,
And joy comes back again.But then it all reverses,
When He is raised to life,
With others in denial,
And they get day for night.So when it comes to asking,
Just ask and you’ll receive;
The Father funds the project,
For those who then believe.The loop-de-loop is central,
Raised up then sent away
To apostolic missions
Where work’s like joyful day.John recollects these statements
As end of life draws nigh,
Describing how he lived them,
Two views dismiss a lie.He recollects confusion
Of thoughts they had that night,
But Spirit helped them live them
So they would get it right.Christ tinkered up their thinking,
“Hey guys, abide with Me –
In Me your peace you’ll find there,
Hang in and you will see –“The world dispenses trouble
And not much more than this,
But I have overcome it
In end My way is bliss.”Thanks Lord for this.
