based on John 16:16-22
What are the four words that parents dread most? Maybe it’s these: "Are we there yet?" If you’ve ever taken a trip with small children, even if it’s only a 5 minute trip, I’m absolutely positive you’ve heard these words. Children are so anxious to get wherever you are going.
So what’s your answer to that question? Some might say "We’ll get there when we get there", but that doesn’t go over so well with kids. Others might say "In 5 minutes", but they don’t have a watch or a good grasp on time. Or, you might say "We’ll be there in a little while" and let them figure out how long that is.
This morning, as we take a look at Jesus’ words to His disciples, He uses that phrase "A LITTLE WHILE". He’s pointing them to the very first Easter morning when He would see them again. For now, they would experience sorrow for a little while. Then, in a little while, their sorrow would turn to joy. You know, in a little while.
