Best Day Ever With Jesus

The Word that gives life was from the beginning, and this is the one our message is about. Our ears have heard, our own eyes have seen, and our hands touched this Word.  The one who gives life appeared! We saw it happen, and we are witnesses to what we have seen. Now we are telling you about this eternal life that was with the Father and appeared to us.  We are telling you what we have seen and heard, so that you may share in this life with us. And we share in it with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 1: 1 - 3

There is no mention in the Bible of those who walked with Christ while He was on this earth ever longing for the "Good Old Days" that they spent with Jesus as He preached and performed miracles among the people.  

Instead of thinking about "yesterday" as the song says when "All my troubles seemed so far away," they looked forward to the Day when they would be with Jesus in Heaven forever!  And, more importantly, they knew that Christ living "in" them now was much more wonderful that when He simply lived "with" them!

When I was a young man there was great joy during the time I spent getting to know the girl who would become my wife.  But I never long to go back to those days.  Then I was with her a lot, but I was not "One with her."  Courtship doesn't even compare to the glorious adventure of marriage!

It is the same with Jesus.  There are some who get to know Him and may even spend lots of time with Jesus, but have never given themselves completely to the Lord!  It is like a courtship without commitment.  

Remember that the best day ever with Jesus is today when His Spirit is living in your heart!  

"Lord Jesus, thank You that walking with You today with Your Spirit in our hearts is even better than it was for those who walked with You on this earth 2000 years ago.  Praise Your Holy Name now and forever.  Amen."
