USCSI REFLECTIONS

John 8:51-59

“Whoever is true to my word shall never see death.” Obviously, he was not referring to the avoidance of physical death. He was talking about a quality of life so rich, so radiant, and so real that it will last forever. Not even death can destroy it. The practical significance of that is evident. It teaches us that we should quit postponing eternal life. We ought to be living it right now. We do not have to wait until we get to heaven. We can bring a little bit of heaven down to earth. We can live with an eternal quality, starting today.
