The promise of eternal life
Yesterday at the cathedral Rob Smith finished off the summer series on John 3:16: 'Does God really love the world?'. I only heard the last two in the series, but they were fantastic. They haven't yet been uploaded onto the website, but should be available soon here
The contrasts seem to be really hitting me at the moment - last night I was really struck by the contrasting futures facing those who believe in the Son and those who reject him. For one, the promise is of eternal life - not just life that goes on and on, but transformed life with a transformed relationship with our creator at the centre. For the other, condemnation. They are perishing because the wrath of God remains upon them.
In John 14:6 Jesus tells us that he is the only way to the Father, the only possible way of salvation: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." My prayer is that many will join with me in believing in the Son.

I thought Sunday night's sermon was awesome. I went on holidays the next day with Caro and L-L, and I spent about 20 minutes raving to them about how challenged and encouraged I was.
I was once again challenged that it really is all about Jesus.
and that He is the only way!!
