John 5: Most assuredly, I say to
you, he
who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and
shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to
you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of
God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He
has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute
judgment also, because
He is the Son of Man.

With a spouse and a
car full of babies, I could see the finish line. After losing so many times, I
finally could win this round. When I spun the spinner, I landed on the dreaded
spot that takes money away from you, just before getting to millionaire acres,
the game winning spot. My dreams of winning were crushed again.
- Sometimes I want life to go as other people have planned for me.
- Sometimes I want life to be without problems.
- Sometimes I want life to be just like the game of life where you can win a large prize just for playing.
JESUS further
explains to the church leaders that HE is GOD and has all authority. HE
explains that the FATHER has life and so does HE. “Life will be given to those
who hear ME” JESUS says. Am I listening?
- JESUS wants me to accept HIS example HE gave me in HIS word.
- JESUS wants me to look to HIM for all of my answers rather than thinking I know it all.
- JESUS wants me to hear HIM when I need comforting, correction and guidance in all aspects of life.
Life is GOD and HE
gives it to me abundantly. Sometimes the enemy tries to confuse me into
thinking if I am experiencing problems, I must not be living “life.” This is a
lie that JESUS wants me to overcome. HE wants me to see that “life” is more
than problem free and pleasure filled time.
Life means being
with people who struggle, as well as with those who laugh. JESUS wants me to
cry with people, smile with people and grow with people. HE wants me to point
to HIM who holds life in HIS hands. I am eternally saved because of JESUS.
- What does “life” mean to you?
- Do you think you are not living because things are not going your way?
- Will you stop waiting on things to be better and start celebrating eternal life, through JESUS, before it happens?
