images from the Gospels of how Jesus invites us to understand and to follow him. I may know academically, but I wonder as I muse on the words
bread of life,
covenant,
eternity, and
everlasting.
Sometimes we associate the word
eternity with negative things - "It took an
eternity to get my problem fixed." Certainly with this COVID pandemic it may seem like we are living an
eternity of social distancing. Are we uncomfortable with the idea of something awaiting us? Perhaps we are jaded, not wanting to hope lest we be disappointed.
