Jesus, after revealing to His disciples a promise of persecution, takes another moment to bolster their faith. First He has told them that He?s leaving and we know that He speaks of His death?so how does He strengthen them? Does He explain the mystery of His resurrected body and the way that it will function? Does He explain how heaven looks like or the fact that death will no longer have a sting? It?s probably the way any of us would do it?but Jesus instead underscores the benefit of his leaving and what it means to the future.
The Science and Christianity Showcase is up at Allthings2all. Here’s a quote from Catez:
I am pleased to present the Science and Christianity Showcase. Contrary
to the usual experience of scientists around the globe, this first time
experiment has yielded excellent results. Putting this together has
been one of my best experiences as a blogger, and it’s a privilege to
be able to highlight these posts. Some of the contributors are
scientists and some are Christians interested in the issue of science
and the Christian faith.

Go check it out. Very interesting.
Is there anything to fear from Humanism? I mean, the modern
day ethical humanist may roughly adhere to a certain code though not necessarily so?so what’s wrong with it? When we look at their thought process of being ?guided by reason, inspired by
compassion, and informed by experience?to live life well and fully? we as
Christians may find common ground…but should we? Because they ethically stand on the side of God…should we as well support them?
Jesus now has to get the disciples? blood moving to make understand the implications of these lessons in holiness. The Lord puts a break in their lesson and tells the disciples to arise and go out from here (14:31). This change of atmosphere itself is a lesson. It?s all well and good to remember the Lord?s lesson on love and separateness when you?re in a warm upper room with food spread out before you?but it is completely different to remember that lesson out in the dark, cold world where betrayal lay right around the corner.
