I tell you most solemnly, whoever keeps my word will never see death.
Jn.8:51
Jesus makes the ultimate promise for those who believe. Eternal life.
There are 8.3 billion people in the world and we all face the same 100% certainty of death. However, for believers death is viewed as a transition ("falling asleep in the Lord") rather than an end, promised through Christ’s own resurrection.
I am reminded of the importance of my "keeping God's word". Jesus says the good soil for the seed are people who hear God's word and act on it. (Mt.13:23)
Jesus, help me be a hearer, doer and keeper of your word today.
