Before getting into the section 6 area I want to take a moment or two the look at what Jesus said as recorded by John in chapter 12 in his first letter of recapping what he saw and heard from the Lord Jesus.
I shall use again the KJV as it some read but I at this moment do not want to do a forensic search of words on these passages beginning at verse 23 of chapter 12 we find this: "Jesus answered them, saying, 'The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will (our) My Father honor. Now is My soul troubled; And what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: But for this cause came I to this hour. Father, glorify Thy name (Elohiym).' Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, 'I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.'"
Now for our next passage while we are in John's gospel message beginning with verse 30-33 here is what it states: "Jesus answered and said, 'This voice came not because for me, but for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to Me.' This He said, signifying what death He should die."
And our next one begins with verse 35-36 and it states this: "Then Jesus said to them, 'Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goes. While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light.' These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and hide Himself from them."
Now for the finial passage beginning with verse 42 through 50 here is what it states: "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed Him; But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of GOD.
Jesus cried out and said, 'He that believes Me, believes not on Me, but Him that sent Me. And he that sees Me sees Him that sent Me (as seeing in a mirror). I am come a light in the world, that whosoever believes Me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hears My words, and believes not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save (redeem, heal) the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not My words, has one that judges him: The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.'"
Not long after this discourse Jesus says to Peter in chapter 13 verse 7: "'What I do you know not of; But you shall know hereafter.'" He stated this while He was washing the feet of His closest followers. OH! There is so much more that I would like to share about the Christ redeemed within us all....ie.,, the image and likeness of Elohiym, first seen in genesis 1:26-28 which for the denying and unbelieving remains a secret thing of GOD, a mystery, yet to be made known to all. As we will soon find out in section 6.
