As we conclude chapter 12 of John’s gospel, we are reminded of the authority and power of Scripture as they are the words of Christ Himself. There is great hope for anyone who believes the word of God that their dark minds can be illuminated and be given wisdom. There is a reverence for Christ’s words knowing that failure to abide and believe them ultimately results in judgement. Finally, we are reminded that those who believe and follow the words of Christ are proven to be those who have a relationship with the Father. The words of Christ collected in the Bible are the words of life.
