“A little while.”
A term that seemed to create a bunch of confusion in the minds of the disciples
When you tell someone you are going away for a littel while what does that mean?
Drama
Confusion of terms by the disciples
John 16:16-
They wee confused because He was teh Messiah and they expected His Kingdom to be an immediate physical Kingdom
His Kingdom was at hand - Just came in on a donkey - Palm Sunday
Where was he going?
How long?
Why?
They were desperate and placed all of their hopes in what they thought He was doing and where He was going
Jesus clarifies his terms
John 16:19
He chides them again for focusing on the wrong question
“A Little While”
and you will NOT see me
They will be fillled with grief at Jesus death, but the world will rejoice
The world is an enemy of God and the ruler of this world wanted to kill God
Illus: Chronicles of Narnia; Aslan laying on the table and the white queen stands with the knife and everyone is cheering.
And, when she drives it into his heart they cheer and rejoice
God is Dead - Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche writes his famous declaration, God is dead several times throughout his works.
The meaning of the phrase is often misunderstood — many have interpereted that Nietzsche believed in a literal death or end of God.
Instead, the line points to the western world’s reliance on religion as a moral compass and source of meaning.
As he explains in The Gay Science (Section 125, The Madman):
“God is dead.
God remains dead.
And we have killed him.
How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?
What water is there for us to clean ourselves?
What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?
Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?
Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”
His point was that when man seeks to kill God that what is left is Nihilism- the belief that life is meaningless
This is where many are today - that life is meaningless
It may have been where the disciples would have been if Jesus had only died on the cross
Jesus says: “But your sorrow will trun to Joy.”
“And again, a little while, and you WILL see me.”
Jesus is clearly speaking of the Resurrection and the time prior to the ascension:
“Because I am going to the Father.”
Jesus turns them to the resurrection -
He uses teh illustration of child brith and the effects on the Mother
John 16:
Catie and Campbell Bailey
Pain and agony will be replaced by joy and happiness
How?
Because Jesus will be raised fom the dead and conquer death and the victory will be for God’s people and for their salvation
Doctrine
Truth of God’s Word
Jesus tells them what is going to happen and prepares them.
And, the events that take place are exactly what Jesus said they would be.
This shows us the Word of Jesus are teh Word of God
Thsi shows us that the Words of Jesus/God are true
Sovereignty
This plan of Salvation is a plan that goes beyond the beginning of our time
That God orchastrated and arranged all of the actions necessary of every person in order for the plan of Salvation to take place
It wasn’t by chance - It was God ordained and directed
Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus accomplishes the reversal of the effects of Original Sin
Sin = death
Resurrection is newness of life
- 1st Adam and Second Adam
Victory over the first death - physical and the second death spiritual
Accomplishes our salvation spiritually, starting in this life and physically, when He returns again and the dead shall rise again
1 Corinthians 15:20-
The Spiritual resurrection is the HS bringing you to faith and raising you to everlasting life in Christ Jesus - You have become a new creation
This is the source of our Joy - the HS and the resurrection we share with Christ Jesus
The physical resurrection is coming and that is when all Joy will by fulfilled
Focusing on the resurrection is where Jesus took His disciples because that was their salvation
Doxology
Christians can be some grumpy and complaining people can’t we.
We like the world often seek joy and happiness in things that won’t ever bring them
The only true Joy is found in the Joy of the Lord
We are to rejoice in the Holy Spirit’s assurance of this resurrection
We have been raised Spiritually
We will be raised Physically
True Happiness then comes from the HS as we think and meditate on the resurrection
