John 12:34-36 Part 2 of 2

The crowd spoke up, "We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this 'Son of Man'?" Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.

You are going to have the light just a little while longer 
John 12:46  "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."
John 1:4-5  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 
John 3:19  This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
John 8:12  When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 9:5  "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Walk while you have the light 
Ephesians 5:8  For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light ...

before the darkness overtakes you 
1 John 1:5-6  This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
1 John 2:11  But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light 
1 Thessalonians 5:5  You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Jesus left and hid himself from them 
John 8:59  At this they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
