Eternal Life


"Jesus prays:  'This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.'"  -John 17:3

Our 3-year-old granddaughter is spending a couple days with us.  We've played games, read books, played outside in our "park," as she calls the play area in our yard where her daddy used to play, gone to the library and the ice cream shop, and had our lunch on a bench along this creek that runs through our town.  It's times like this that I'm reminded what life is really all about--loving and caring for the people in our life.

Jesus reminds us in today's verse what eternal life is all about--to know Him and His Father, the only true God.  

I am grateful for the little things in life--like grandchildren--to remind me what life is really all about, but I am even more grateful that I and everyone else in this world, through faith in Him, have eternal life in Christ Jesus.
