What Must We Do For Life Eternal?
What do you want? And how can you get it?
What would fill that empty place? What would satisfy you completely? Can you even imagine it?
And, how do you get
that?
Maybe this very familiar question --
what must I do to inherit eternal life
? – is of more immediate concern than we have been led to believe. What if it is about now? Jesus wasn’t telling the rich man that he needed to get his balance sheet in order so that he’d have enough points when he died. What if Jesus was offering him a way – perhaps
the best and most direct way
for that man - to move into the fullness of joy right now?
What would you be willing to do to enter the fullness of joy?
Just asking.
Let’s explore all this some more on Sunday. I hope to see you at Gathering.
Much peace,
Katie
