John 13:31-38

13:37,38pp -- Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29-31; Lk 22:33,34

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once. 33 "My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. 34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." 36 Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later." 37Peter asked, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." 38 Then Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

Jesus was very aware of Self in this moment - He knew His time was coming to be glorified on the cross, He knew He would be going away and that it had to happen so that the Counsellor might come after to help His people.  Therefore He was also very Other aware - He recognized that His life was an example for others, "As I have loved you, so you must love one another."  He recognized that in His being glorified on the cross God would be glorified in Him.  Which also shows how God aware He was.  His whole life was one in which He lived to glorify God.  I challenge you all to become more SOG aware in every detail of your life.
