HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in JohnSample

Big Picture

In today’s passage, Jesus is telling His audience who He is and what His purpose is. It’s such a privilege to be able to hear from His own words! He tells us that He and The Father are together in all aspects. This is huge! Jesus and The Father act in the same way. They heal, they raise from the dead, they acknowledge those who honor them, and eternal life is freely given to those who believe in them! How beautiful and simple is that?

So, no matter what we experience during this brief time on earth, if we believe in the Father and The Son, we will have ETERNAL LIFE! If we suffer, even though for extended periods of time here on earth, what’s that in comparison to the joys we’ll experience in eternity?

QUESTIONS:

1. Who wants me to focus on the “here and now” only?


2. How may my perspective change if my focus is on eternity?


3. What meaning does verse 24 have for me? How can I commit this passage to memory?
