Eternal

“And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God.” (John 17:3 MSG)

The earth encompasses what we understand about our past, present, and future. It contains all our history, experiences, and expectations. It represents nature, humanity, and all that is tangible. Yet, we sense there is more. Although much of it is beyond our grasp, we know the earth is merely a tiny part of the cosmos. Space and time stretch beyond all that is comprehensible.

What is eternal life?

If you walk outside soon after it rains, you may be able to see a few clouds and puddles of water. You may hear the birds chirping. You may NOT notice that the air is heavier with humidity, but it is. Experiencing God is absorbing the weight of the intangible Spirit that surrounds you and revealing His essence. It is more than the past, present, and future--it is timeless. Nature, humanity, and all that we know of this world are part of it, but not all of it. It is beyond our concepts of matter, space, and time. Eternal life is experiencing and expressing God’s nature, here and now.
