One Month To Live!

One Month To Live!

If you knew you where dying how would that change your life? Jesus was a man just like us in every way and he had to deal with the emotional stress of knowing he was about to die. John 2:19 jesus knew his death was coming! But not only his death but his suffering as well!

Knowing your going to die changes your perspective. You would not live just for your self. Dying to your self is the only way to truly live. There is no fear in death when you chose to die. Jesus understood this! John 15:1-17 ...this is Jesus knowing that he has a week to live. His choice words were meant to leave behind a guide for his disciples. He teaches the how to embrace life, die to self and remain in the vine! Continued connection to Jesus is necessary for life!

Bearing fruit confirms life. The purpose of life is to bear fruit. The opposite of death is life. The branch that does not bear fruit is already dead. John 12:24 the Christian is like a kernel of wheat. We have to die to reproduce! If we don't die to self we bear no fruit! If we don't give up this life we bear no fruit. Without fruit we die! We must die so that we can grow!

Loving one another is equally important but it also requires us to die to self! John 15:13 -- who would I die for? Who am I not willing to die for? What am I unwilling to die for? What am I unwilling to give up?

Matthew 16:25
