I Am: giving eternal life

I Am: giving eternal life by ric gustafson


John 17:3-' Now this is eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent'.


Everyone wants a good life but Jesus has his own definition of life. What Jesus offers is eternal life. God wants us to have a life of goodness and abundance. Some people live in death feeling rejected, lonely and hardened in their hearts. We want life but some want it without knowing God. Jesus says that to have life, we need to know God.
Some people reject God because they fear him and think he is stern and uncaring. Some people hold God responsible for unpleasant things that have happened in their lives. Some people have walked away from God and fear that they can not come back. No matter what the reason, Jesus is the answer. God promises eternal life to those who want it and stay the course.
