Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
John 17:3, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Eternal life is not some substance or commodity.
Eternal life is the Person of God Himself.
It is not a ticket we are holding.
Eternal life is our relationship with the Father and the Son.
It is that current of life between the Father and the Son in the flow of the Spirit.
Eternal life is that current which has been flowing for eternity between the Three in the Godhead.
And God has given Their relationship to us.
He has given us Their flow.
He has put within us Their reciprocal relationship one with another.
He has included us in that flow because we are the Body of the Second in the Godhead.
We are the Body of Christ.
He is the Head, and we are the members.
He is the Anointed, and we are the anointed ones.
He is the Christ, and we are the Christians.
We are one with Him in our union with Him.
We can know we have eternal life.
How?
Because the Father’s testimony concerning His Son was not just a historical event 2,000 years ago (Matt. 3:13-17).
What He spoke then out of the heavens is now in the Spirit.
So when we say “Lord, You are the Christ.
You are the One living for me now.
Live in me.
I refuse to handle this, Lord.
I refuse to live apart from You.
Without You I can do nothing.
I am just a branch drawing and absorbing from You.
His Spirit will be constantly bearing witness within us and testifying, “Yes, yes, that is right.”
This is because the Father handles everything with His Son.
And now we too can live handling everything the way the Father does in Christ, through Christ, and unto Christ.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
