The Last Lecture of Christ

Carnegie Mellon University has an annual event called "The Last Lecture". One of the most notable of these lectures was presented by Professor Randy Pausch in 2007, who died the next year. The title of the lecture was "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." If I had just one final lecture to share with others before I died, it would be titled "God comes first in everything." In the Book of John, Jesus Christ gave His last lecture (discourse) of heart-felt and profound thoughts to the disciples before His crucifixion death.
