He Who Believes In Me Has Eternal Life,
So Jesus puts that in the present so that we know we have
it here and now. So that refers to the quality of life that we
have when we accept Jesus and follow Him every day. It
is not some illusive ideal we might find one day or something
we might earn one day, directly it means today. At the same
time it means we need to believe today, here and now. For
us, Christianity becomes a lifestyle everyday. This is not to
please God but it will, but it is so our lives can be lived in an
abundantly powerful joy. That is why Jesus came and that is
to conquer death. Previous to the risen Lord, we had nowhere
to go; just to live and then die. Now we have a life that makes
the promise of eternity. So what are we waiting for. Lord,
your will and not mine be done.
