Luke 12:4-7
Jesus' Encouragement
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
John 14:6-7
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Remains the Same
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Being eternal and in eternity is something very divine...We live in time on earth and have a history and a past...But we can only live in the current moment of today, this day...God and Jesus live outside of time, yet they LOVE us...So God and His Son think of us, in their eternal kingdom...
C. S. Lewis said, "The difference God's timelessness makes is that this now (which slips away from you even as you say the word now) is for Him infinite."...Lewis also said this about the eternal, "Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes; that is, in our deepest reality."...
God knows the number of hairs on your head...He personally knows you...We cannot hide from Him...He LOVES you...He will not forget you, as you or others might forget your ancestors who are no long gone, and you never got to meet...God is not that way...Eternity is not that way...He does not operate that way...He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life...
Eternity is something very sacred and holy...Jesus and God are eternal and they are in eternity...They are in heaven...God and Jesus are the same and remain the same yesterday, today, and forever...They do let let anything including time passing and death lessen the importance of those that believe in Them and They LOVE you forever and ever...
