Jesus is preparing his disciples for his absence and ultimately posing the question: Did we hear the words of Jesus and obey them? There is a day of judgment when our faith and works will be presented before the King and Jesus will examine our lives and their fruit and set us in eternity or in Hell. Your life matters. Jesus indicated that the blessing of the kingdom of God lies in people who recognize their brokenness, live a life of repentance, align their lives to reflect the kingdom and seek diligently to live that out.
