Show Notes

Today we dive in and talk about "a more eternal kind of life" that Jesus so often speaks of in John's gospel. In particular, we take Jesus words at face value concerning the timing of this eternal life - that it begins right here and now as soon as we turn to Jesus Christ. Finally, "a more eternal kind of life" is brought in to focus when remembering that Jesus is the Way for us and that we can actually practice his way in tangible and intentional ways as his followers.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eternal life is a present reality that never ends.
  • Jesus is the Way and we can practice his way together:
    • Setting ourselves apart to God in stillness
    • Taking in Scripture and being shaped by it
    • Committing to regular fellowship & mutual submission to Christ
    • Learning to hear God together - both what he has spoken to us in Scripture and what he is speaking to us as we follow him along the way
