You Will Never See Death
For the Believing Impaired

John 8:48-59
A journalist and a father of a three -year-old boy came home in 2019. The young boy saw his dad working on his iPad while he was at the house. So, while the dad was at work, the three-year-old boy picked up the iPad and tried to use it when his dad was away. Only the iPad was password protected. The little boy entered the wrong passcode. The little boy was persistent and continued to enter the wrong passcode. When the dad came home, the screen to his iPad looked like this: Yes, by the time his dad returned home, the iPad had been locked out for over twenty-five million minutes - that's just shy of fifty years. The dad reached out to Apple to find out how to reboot the device. One person said he should try to reboot the toddler ?.1 Eventually, Apple provided a fix.
Jesus specializes in fixing problems that seem to have no solution. Tension has been mounting in chapters 7 and 8 like a thundercloud swelling in the sky. The opponents of Jesus' day would not be stuck with Jesus for anywhere near 25 million minutes. Or so they thought.
We come to the end of a story that really begins all the way back in John 7:1. Today, Jesus debates who is the legitimate son of Abraham while promising us how to never taste death.

Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.' The Jews said to him, 'Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?' Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my g ...
