Serving the Word: John 17: 1-11a

John 17, 1-11a:
“Eternal life is this; to know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent”.

We can think, and in fact we think about it many times, that eternal life begins at the moment of our death.
But Jesus in today’s gospel tells us that eternal life already begins here, in this world, in as much as we are knowing him and we will also be knowing the Father.
To know in the Bible is not only an act that we make with intelligence.
To know in the Bible is to experience, to live… and, in our case, is to experience and live the life of God in us.
When the life of God is taking us over, so too will be taking over the eternal life of God and we will be soaking up his eternal life.
Begin now to live the eternal life by living the life of God in you.
Good day.
