Scripture:  1John (NIV) 5:11 … God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Observation: The beauty of this passage is its simplicity. One cannot have eternal life apart from Jesus. It is more than just knowing about Jesus; it is knowing Him; it is possessing Him. The presence of His life affects every deed and every word. As we grow in submitting to His life, our lives are changed to be more like Him.

Application: The life of Christ within me is to “ooze” out through my every words and deeds. It cannot go unnoticed for long.

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, I love to sing: “Jesus on the inside, working on the outside; oh, what a change in my life.” (Cymbala) Amen
