Eternal Life

Jeremiah 48-49; Psalms 67; 1 John 1 

“The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and…We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

1 John 1:2-4

Eternal life is more than a state of being; it is found in a relationship with a person named Jesus Christ. John knew Jesus and his one desire was that others might know Jesus as well. Our fellowship with others is based on fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Jesus is the common denominator, the unite-r. In Jesus, our fellowship and relationship are eternal. Jesus introduces us to the Father, the source of life.

Do we know both Jesus and the Father?

Are we testifying to what we have seen and heard and experienced, or merely the testimony of others?

John invites us to have our own relationship with Jesus the Son and God the Father and then to joyfully invite others to experience this life-giving relationship for themselves.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for introducing me to the Father who has given me life, for your glory.”
