John 12:35

Jesus said to [his disciples, "the crowd," and "some Greeks"], "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going."

There have been times in my life I have felt as if I were walking in the darkness, and certainly times I did not know where I was going. The disciples felt this way after the crucifixion, despite, here, Jesus trying to prepare them, and even a voice from heaven supporting him.

Jesus also prepares us, to become children of light. He said - to them and us - the evidence is in and we should act on it.

Most of the people listening to him did not believe. As we walk to Jerusalem, will we?
