“And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent” (John 17:3).
You have just listened into the most incredibly intimate conversation that could ever be recorded. The Lord Jesus is mere hours away from the cross where He would lay down His life for us. Yesterday we wrote about death and grieving. What an awful and terrifying experience the Lord Jesus went through for us that we might have life eternal. Someday all the tears will be wiped away. There will be no more death. Sorrow and pain will be forever banished. We who have trusted in Christ’s work of redemption will be with Him forever. Think of the glory of those words: “Eternal life!” There is no greater joy than knowing Christ as our Savior. Do you know Him today?
For today: He paid a tremendous price that we might have eternal life, a tremendous possession.
