Printable version of this week’s devotional.
Read John 3:14-15 a second time. The’ lifting up’ of Jesus makes eternal life possible for those who believe. Eternal life has a ‘present’ as well as a ‘future’. “External life is the change in human existence brought about by faith in Jesus. To have eternal life is to live life no longer defined by blood or by the will of the flesh or by human will, but by God. It is life in the unending presence of God.” [NIB] When we think of ‘heaven’ or eternal life, we sometimes imagine being reunited with family and friends, a place of peace and rest. Where is eternal life represented in your ‘present’? Where is your life shaped by obedience to God today?
