Join us as we explore God's ancient wisdom and apply it to our modern lives. His word is as current and relevant today as it was when he inspired its authors more than two and a half millennia ago. The websites where you can reach us are alittlewalkwithgod.com, richardagee.com, or saf.church.

I hope you will join us every week and be sure to let us know how you enjoy the podcast and let others know about it, too. Thanks for listening.

You can't go! - Episode 7-83, March 24, 2017

Mar 24, 2017

A daily devotional through the recorded words Jesus spoke while He walked alongside us. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.

  1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
  2. My grandson had the thrill of his life last week. This year he is finally tall enough to ride “The Rattler”, the big roller coaster at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. He’s wanted to ride for a long time, but just wasn’t quite tall enough. His plight reminded me of today’s words from Jesus.
  3. Scripture
    1. John 13:31-35
    2. Jesus: Now the Son of Man will be glorified as God is glorified in Him. If God’s glory is in Him, His glory is also in God. The moment of this astounding glory is imminent. My children, My time here is brief. You will be searching for Me; and as I told the Jews, “You cannot go where I am going.” So I give you a new command: Love each other deeply and fully. Remember the ways that I have loved you, and demonstrate your love for others in those same ways. Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others.
  4. Devotional
    1. When you were a kid, do you remember those times when your mom or dad or big brother or sister left you behind? “Sorry, you can’t go with me, kid.
      1. Not this time.
      2. You’re not big enough.
      3. You’re not old enough.
      4. You’re not ready.”
      5. How did you feel?
    2. I imagine that’s how the disciples felt when Jesus talked to them about going away.
      1. Closest friends.
      2. Went everywhere with Him
      3. Enjoyed His teachings, His miracles, His company
      4. Wanted to protect Him from the crowds and His enemies
      5. Wanted to be wherever He was
    3. What did they feel
      1. Disappointment
      2. Rejection
      3. Abandonment
      4. Fear
      5. Anger
      6. Confusion
    4. We look back and understand
      1. Know where He was going
      2. Know we can join Him one day
      3. Know how to get to the place He went
      4. Ask His forgiveness
      5. Accept Him as Lord
      6. Follow Him each day
    5. We can’t go there yet, but one day it will be time and we can be with Him forever
