I think I’m going to make it…there is the promise of 60+ degree temperatures for this weekend…and I might just make it. Isn’t it amazing how our outlook changes when we have the promise of something better waiting for us? I can almost hear the robins singing as they construct nests in which to lay their eggs. Now you may think I am delusional (and I may be) but wait just a moment…I have no doubts that soon the temperatures will warm, the trees will bud, the grass will again begin to grow, and we will be hearing the chirping of young robins in the nests. In fact, I would bet the farm on it…and I am not a gambling man. I have the assurance that the cycle of life will begin the regenerative process this spring. It’s the same assurance that I (and all believers) hold for life after death. When confronted by Martha after the death of her brother Lazarus, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Throughout scripture we find Jesus and others declaring that he (Jesus) came so that we might have eternal life. The real question is, “Do you believe this?” If so, then smile, eternal life has already begun for you. If not, might I recommend The Gospel According to John for your reading pleasure…it might just change your life.
