And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. -- John 12:20-25


At this moment, Jesus had just made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey, something prophesied 500 years earlier by the Prophet Zechariah. Large crowds Jewish people in the city for the Passover Week had just cheered Jesus’ entrance, celebrating the arrival of the prophesied Messiah. Amidst the commotion, a group of “Greeks” (a term for non-Israelite Jews or Gentiles) wanted to meet Jesus. When the Disciples informed the Lord, His response taught a profound lesson about His mission and the life of every Christian believer who ever lived.

yes WANTING to be with HIM, willing to leave this world, not enJOYing this world to not love my: flesh's pleasures , my career, my job, MY life or the "leeks and onions," To leave my weakness', to think desire and imagine walking, talking, feel, being with Jesus, to depart from my body to be present with the Lord. the thrill of my soul to finally be where the Lord of Omnipotent Love for me to be there with Him to look on His face to see the depths of the oceans of infinte Love in His eyes that one day all i have meditated and thought of muse about compared to the small amouts of His presence then vanished into infinite unsearchable and inexhaustable omnipotent Agape then to fully imagine all this world that has numbed my soul robed my heart of this fullness will be NO MORE!! What rapture what ecstacy beyond all my precognition now real unlimited feeling of His Love. Ready for all that hindered me to die and fade away forever. Rapture unspeakable joy unending Praise profound eternal!!!

Amen, amen.

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
