JOHN 12: 20-33
Bro. Bong Lozano


“Those who love their life destroy it, and those who despise their life in this world keep it for everlasting life” most people loves the world than God. It is materialistic world versus God. Man loves the world that’s the meaning of “who love life will destroy it” destroy your worldly desires and being materialistic man will save his life not the life here on earth but life eternal. Selflessness is the opposite of selfishness. GOD who is selfless and in contrary Evil is selfishness.
In Matthew 6:19-21, “Do not store up riches for your selves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for your selves in heaven, where moths and rust can not destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are” All things in this world has its ending and everything are just temporary. What is important is we are preparing our life here on earth for the next life. This is the introduction of what and where we will be after this life. Jesus is reminding us not to be more focused on this world but let us be concerned of the life after death. The riches Jesus would like us to inherit is LIFE ETERNAL. Life with the Father and His children in heaven our eternal home.
“Whoever wants to serve me, let him follow me and wherever I am, there shall my servant be also. If anyone serves me the Father will honor Him” In following Jesus is a SERVICE to God and His people. It is not an easy way to follow Him nor it is a promise of bed of roses but rather a way to Calvary. We call it Discipleship. In following Jesus in service, the person will be glorified by the Father.
Jesus also experienced FEAR and afraid of what will happen to Him but He give way to the will of the Father. “Father, not my will but your will be done” Luke 22: 42 the words of Jesus when He prayed to the Father before His arrest.
DEATH has no power over Jesus. He will be glorified and resurrected after His Death. On the third day after He was buried He appeared to His apostles with His resurrected body. We will all Rise like Jesus. All followers who obey God through the teachings of Jesus the Christ will be brought to life when He comes again in the final judgment. The voice of the Father was heard speaking to His Son Jesus in Prayer. This tells us that God really exist and He speaks to us and answers us in prayer. “The ruler of this world is







Satan He will be thrown into the lake of fire on the last days, he causes death. And in the contrary Jesus gives life because He Himself is Life. Satan succeeded to nail Jesus on the cross and died. What he didn’t know is that Jesus death is the beginning of his damnation
and all his followers the evil ones. And through the cross we the followers of Jesus are saved. To wind up everything, Let us not be afraid of DEATH because it is the
beginning of new life the glorified life with God. What we have to do while we still live here on earth is that OBEY the commandments and Follow Jesus because He conquered Death He is ALIVE forever and as followers we will also experienced EVERLASTING LIFE as what Jesus promised in John 14:1-3, “ Do not be worried and upset, Jesus told them. Believe in God and believe also in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will comeback and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am”. He is already back to the Father to prepare our dwelling place with God in His mansion. Let us not be worried continue believing in God and in Jesus never ever give up for we do not know when He will be back to bring us to His Fathers house. What we know as disciples of Jesus is He is there with His Father waiting for us to occupy the room He prepared for those who obeyed Him. Jesus is the only way the truth and the life, John 14:6, therefore we are assured of salvation in loving and following Jesus and obeying His commands.
See you in our Fathers House…
