John 17:26 “I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” Of all the things and concepts of the world nothing comes close to the emotion of love. And of all the displays of love on this earth nothing comes close to the love you and I receive as being the adopted and loved children of our Heavenly Father. And your and my response? A love for our Father which goes even beyond our own understanding.

Every Christian, though living in the world, does not live for personal glory or self-satisfaction. Every Christian lives with the continual thought–Father, let me live the purposeful life You want me to live. Since this thought is totally foreign to unbelievers, Christians will not only be questioned for their thinking—-they will be hated for their thinking. Why should that be in our–think however you want society? Why—the devil is real and he has control and his control involves hate for God. As a Christian–expect 2 things. One to be loved by God. Two expect to be hated by everyone and everything else.

John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life; that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” This passage is a part of Jesus’ prayer to His Father. These words are absolute truth. You and I ask ourselves: Do you and I know our Heavenly Father? Do you and I know our Savior, Jesus? Then—-eternal life for you and me is with our God in Heaven—-that is the best news you will hear today or any day!!

John 16:2b “…in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.” The faithless thinking of man cannot possibly be logical, God-fearing or wise. Without faith man cannot possibly live a moral life because without faith there are civil laws which become as shifting as the wind with no absolutes. One has to only look at our society where gay rights, abortion and chaotic thinking dominate. When God’s truths dominate as the absolute wise thinking, all turmoil is eliminated. Unfortunately, that thinking will only happen in Heaven.
