Not just a nice passage from a nice book, this particular quote has reawakened my heart and pumped its valves back into beating.
Dallas Willard writes, ''Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life.
"Those who come through me will be safe," he said.
"They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the limit.'' - The Divine Conspiracy.
In other words, eternity is not about a heavenly existence that goes on and on, singing hymns foreverafter with the cherubim and the saints! Eternal life is not about its duration but about the quality of life given to us - its goodness through Jesus and living 'life to the limit'.
And Eternity is life now.
And that life is Him.
''In Him was life and that life was the light of man'' - John 1:4.
I want to remain with this perspective for all my days here on Earth. The source, the energy, the light, the life truly is Jesus and there is no other way!
As a human will, I struggle to keep my eyes on the eternal promise and the life I have in Him but it has to become a priority - to be identified and assured in Him.
