The very sad loss of my mother-in-law to Covid this week has brought me back to the comforting words of Jesus regarding the reality of our promised eternal life with Him. Pearl often came to our church when she was visiting us, and many of you reading this met or knew her.

Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

John 6:35,40

Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live for ever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 6:47-51

I won’t add much more, except to note that the offer is freely available to everyone: Jesus gave His life on the cross so that we can be forgiven for our sins and receive eternal life. I hope like me that you are putting your faith in Jesus, that you are longing to be there in His wonderful kingdom, and that His words stir your heart to worship Him today.
