The responsibility of privilege!

John 12:44-50
 44-46 Jesus summed it all up when he cried out, "Whoever believes in me, believes not just in me but in the One who sent me. Whoever looks at me is looking, in fact, at the One who sent me. I am Light that has come into the world so that all who believe in me won't have to stay any longer in the dark.  47-50 "If anyone hears what I am saying and doesn't take it seriously, I don't judge him. I didn't come to judge the world; I came to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
Food for thought!
These, according to the Gospel of John, are Jesus' last words of public teaching. After these words, Jesus will speak only to his disciples and after these, he will stand before Pilate. So these words are extremely important because they are the last words of Jesus to people at large. 
In these words, Jesus makes categorically that in him people are confronted with God. To listen to Jesus is to listen to God; to see Jesus is to see God the Father. In Jesus God meets man, and man meets God. Jesus is the meeting place between God and man; in Jesus God meets us, and in Jesus we meet God; in Jesus God speaks to us, and in Jesus we speak to God; in Jesus we see God and in Jesus God sees us, loves us, forgives us. 
Jesus tells us, for the last time, that his business among us is not to condemn but to save: «I didn't come to judge the world; I came to save the world.» He did not come to complicate our life, but to simplify it: «Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.» (Mt 11:28). It was not the wrath of God which sent Jesus to the world; it was his love.
This said, the coming of Jesus inevitably involves judgment. Why should that be? Because by our attitude to Jesus we show what we are and therefore we judge ourselves. If we find in Jesus solace, we are safe. If on the other hand, we see in Jesus nothing lovely and our heart remains completely untouched in his presence, it means that we are locked away from God; and we have therefore judged ourselves. In other words, Jesus is God's standard. By our attitude to him we ourselves stand revealed.
Jesus ended with a warning that the words which his listeners had heard would be their judge. That is one of the great truths of life. No one can be blamed for not knowing. But if we know the right thing and do the wrong, our condemnation is all the more serious. Therefore every wise thing that we have heard, and every opportunity we have had to know, will in the end be a witness against us. All that we have known and did not do will be a witness against us at the last, as it is stated in Luke 12:48
«For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required.»
