HIStory: A Six Week Study of the Gospel of John

DAY 25 OF 40

"A Life with Jesus"

In this passage, Jesus is talking about what it means to be “close” to Him. He says that if you want to experience eternal life, then you must first hate your life. Jesus said these words in John 12:25, "25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

When Jesus talks about hating your life, he is speaking in relative terms (because he is also the giver of life). He wants you to love your life with Him, and hate your life without Him. The more we understand God’s love for us, the more we can experience the fullness of life with Christ.

Unfortunately, so many distractions in this life tend to lead us further away from Jesus. Take a look at the things that you strive for in life. Do you desire those things above being close to Jesus? If so, confess them to Christ and ask Him to draw closer to you.

About this Plan

HIStory: A Six Week Study of the Gospel of John

Jesus was more than just a figurative religious voice. He actually walked this earth as a man revealing to us the full nature of God. One of his best friends, John, took time to write down for us the account of his life, ministry, and teachings. This six-week study through the Gospel of John is not only history, but it’s also His Story.
