12.4 - When Belief Isn’t Enough: Lessons on Courage & Consequence
Belief is good, but belief alone isn’t enough. John 12:37–50 reminds us that silence may keep us safe, but it always costs something. Some believed and stayed quiet, afraid of rejection — a choice that feels as real today as it did then.
To my grandchildren and their children: you’ll face moments like this. You’ll know something in your bones, and still the temptation will be to stay quiet. But if you do, you’ll miss the richer life waiting to unfold.
Living awake means listening to the code within — your conscience, your spiritual DNA. It means realizing that consequences are already woven into your choices. It means understanding that one act of kindness or courage multiplies like candlelight passed from flame to flame.
The invitation of this passage is not to wait for life to happen but to participate in it. Let your choices ripple forward. Let your light spark light in others. This is how legacy is made.
