After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed:
Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you. And you gave him power over all people, so he would give eternal life to everyone you give him. Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent.
John 17:1-3
Eternal life is a never ending relationship with a never ending God! On this earth as human beings we know beginnings and we know endings. That's the way everything goes. But the relationship you have with God through Jesus Christ begins here and never, ever ends! As time is counted you will know Jesus two hundred years from now and you will know Him 200 million years in the future! Oh let's don't stop there. Why not remind yourself that you will know Him and be living in His presence 200 trillion years in the future!
I think I am really doing something if I ponder what Heaven will be like when I arrive in God's presence. But what will it be like in another trillion years or so? If you know Jesus you will come to know the answer to that question.
The truth is that your future with Jesus Christ is too amazing to even think about here on this earth. What will it be like? Only Jesus knows, but He wants us to be there with Him in a few trillion years. Oh and that is just the beginning of Eternity!
"Lord Jesus, I confess to you that I am not even able to think about Eternity with You. But Lord I want to be there for every moment of forever! And I want to praise Your Name for all of forever! Amen."
