Note: This series is written as a first-person narrative to present Jesus in the context he walked in with the unknown disciple that narrates introducing my thoughts and sparking more ideas with his questions. Enjoy. I'm omitting the teaching from John 14-17 for brevity's sake and to time it with Easter. I do encourage you to read it yourselves, I've often wanted to teach on it as it's Jesus' last words to his disciples.

The Son of Man Will Be Lifted Up; Learning Under Jesus
Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
