Subject: The answer to, "What is eternal life?" |
Bible Note: I feel that this verse, and the previous verse, shows us how Jesus is continually opening His heart to His Father. It restates, for us, what He already knows. He knows that the ones given to Him, and remained faithful to Him will taste eternal life; and that's simply that they will know the one true God (Paul's "Unknown God"), and His only begotten son, whom He sent to die on a cross, for every sin by every human being on this planet has committed, is in the process of committing, and will committ in the future. |
