{{DOD-November}}
In chapter 12 [[John]] records the final events in Christ's public ministry before the cross. Verses 35 and 36 warn against letting the opportunity for salvation pass by. [[John]] says (verse 36b), "These things spake [[Jesus]], and departed, and did hide himself from them." In the verses that follow, [[John]] explains why Christ hid Himself and why the [[Jews]] were condemned. They had rejected the evidence (verse 37). The Light had been shining for more than three years, as Christ walked here on this earth and preached to them, yet they refused to believe and follow that Light.
Verse 48 gives the basis of all future [[judgment]] against mankind. "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the [[Word]] that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." [[God]] has given us His wonderful [[Word]] for instructions in how to prepare to live and die. If we fail to follow these instructions, that same [[Word]] will judge us in the last day.
