Jesus is eternal life.
I get to know Jesus.
I get to know eternal life.
I get to live life with Jesus.
The eternal kind of life.
Starting now.
Not after death.

Dear Jesus,
Alleluia.
I lean into this truth.
When life doesn’t feel eternal,
Joyful, heavenly.
Or when life does feel eternal,
Eternally frustrating
Or unfair,
Or hard.
Just plain hard.
Jesus.

Jesus is our eternal life.
So we lean into this.
Into Him.
Where does eternal life take us?
Heaven.
What does having Jesus here now,
Jesus our eternal life, mean?
Heaven come down.

This isn’t some epically long wait
In the waiting room of real, flesh and blood life,
Waiting for the door to open
So eternity can begin.
We can begin now.
Heaven touches earth every day.
We can see it if we choose to.
How God chose to
Send Heaven down,
So this life on earth
Would be less hellish,
And more heavenly
Every day.
Heaven came down.
Eternal life came down.
Jesus came down.

Eternal life, Jesus, is active today.
Can you see it?
Can you see Him?
He’s still wiping tears away.
He’s still forgiving the sinners.
He’s still binding the broken hearted.
He’s still healing the sick.
He’s still wrapping tender arms
Round his prodigal sons and daughters,
And getting excited about finding
The lost ones
And bringing them home
rejoicing.
This is the kingdom of Heaven.
It’s a covert mission,
Cause the darkness is great,
But Heaven
Is breaking through
And it will have the final say.
Jesus will have the final say.

I choose to see Heaven today,
See Jesus,
See the eternal,
Cause eternal life
Is a person,
An active person,
Reviving,
Restoring,
Giving hope,
Breathing peace,
Heaven on earth.
The beautiful,
Eternal
Now,
Here now,
Leaning into
Our dear Jesus.

Now we live in fellowship
with the true God
because we live in fellowship
with His Son,
Jesus Christ.
He is the only true God,
and He is eternal life.
I John 5: 21
