Listen "John 16.16-24 - The Full Picture"
Episode Synopsis
About six months ago, a simple puzzle activity with my daughter sparked a deep reflection: life doesn’t make much sense when you only see a few pieces. And that’s exactly how the disciples must have felt during Holy Week. They knew Jesus was the Messiah, but they didn’t yet have the full picture.
In this sermon from John 16, we explore Jesus' words to His disciples in the Upper Room—the night before His crucifixion—where He says, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” Their confusion mirrors our own when we face grief, uncertainty, or even death.
But here’s the hope: Jesus’ resurrection changes everything. Like the image on a puzzle box, it gives us clarity, context, and joy. What once looked like tragedy becomes triumph. Through Jesus’ victory over the grave, we are given a perspective that transforms sorrow into joy and despair into confidence.
And when the pieces still don’t seem to fit, Jesus gives us something else—prayer. We can turn to our Heavenly Father in Jesus’ name, trusting that He sees the full picture of our lives and is working all things for our good.
🙏 Watch now and be reminded that your joy is complete in Christ.
