Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and to forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and there he will repay each according to his conduct. Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
Consideration: This remarkable scripture passage is one of great hope and trust in the Lord. Jesus tells his disciples that there were some among him that would not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom. It takes deep faith to enter into what Jesus is telling his disciples. Will some be given to the grace to fall asleep in Jesus, and awake to see his glory without experiencing death? Will we also be given this grace as well? We shall see! Amen.
