Jesus' final sermon is given before He enters the second stage of Crucifixion. Addressing women, He brings to mind the same reality the Holy Spirit continues to convict the world of today. Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment. Apart from Jesus' righteousness, which He illustrates as green wood, our sin will leave us as nothing less than kindling in the face of judgment.

1. A future apart from Jesus is not something to invest in or look forward to.
2. Green wood doesn't burn, nor will the righteousness of Jesus be consumed by the judgment of God.
3. Dry wood's only purpose is to burn, just like us apart from the mercy God offers through Jesus' death and resurrection.
