If you know you only had two days to live, what would be your final preparation? Would you be preoccupied with your impending demise or would the time be spent reinforcing some critical principle in your child/ward? Would you be busy putting your affairs in order or would you find the time to help somebody? Death is the only thing that’s certain in this life. The Bible teaches that the living know that they will die. Yet, not many made preparation for death.
I must believe that He has my best interest at heart. And just as He did, He bids me speak life over my situations. I will speak positive hope over my family and my job. I will speak eternal life over my life. I will not die here. There is hope. I’ve come too far to give up now. My dawn will be seen at the breaking of the day. I will live. Suicide isn’t a solution. I will hold on. I will stay the course. I will live and not die.
Jesus’ preferred method of teaching His listeners is through parables with the sole intention to help them understand. It would seem that most of Jesus’ listeners were farmers, or that His work was centered in a society whose economy was heavily dependent on farming. So He used the lingo of the day that all could understand. In speaking of His death, He said that He would be glorified. Now this was a puzzle to His listeners because we all know that when someone receives glory, it’s a celebratory time of showing honor and respect.
