UNDAILY Episode 127
I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
JOHN 16, 4-11 (NIV)
We are witnessing an intimate moment where Jesus, before His departure, shares His final thoughts with His disciples. It's a moment filled with emotions, uncertainty, but also deep spiritual truth that transcends all ages and cultures. Jesus says, "I am going to Him who sent me." For the disciples, it marks a farewell to their teacher, friend, and Master. For Jesus, it is a return to the Father and the fulfillment of His mission. This event in His life becomes a symbol of our own returns to the source, to what is most essential in our lives.
