“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3).

In this portion of scripture, Jesus is with His disciples sharing His final words to them before entering His time of trial, death, and resurrection. He assures them that even though they will experience grief at His death, it will turn to joy upon His resurrection. He encourages them that even though troubles will come, they can have peace because He has overcome the world.

Jesus is always our example…He invites us to believe Him and experience eternal life, the abundant life that comes through an intimate relationship with God, the Father. Through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus invites each of us to know God face-to-face. Then, He sends us out to share the same message of God’s love with others so that all will know Him.

Thank you for partnering with us to communicate this Good News message of God’s love to the nations.

Until all have heard,
