“If we did not have the adorable Eucharist here below, Jesus our God-with-us, this earth would be much too sad, this life too hard, and time too long.

“If you have eternal life at all, it simply means that you have the Son, Jesus Christ NOW! Eternal life is not a peculiar feeling inside! It is not your ultimate destination, to which you will go when you are dead. If you are born again, eternal life is that quality of life that you possess right now, at this very moment, in your own physical body, with your own two feet on the ground, and in the world TODAY! And where does this life come from? Of Him! He is that life! So if you have eternal life, it means that you have Somebody, Jesus Christ, and the life that you possess is of Him.” IfsWorldMeanDoeTwoMomentsFeelingsBodyTodayLife IsJesusChristBornQualityFeetSonRight NowEternalJesus ChristUltimateThis LifeDestinationPeculiarQuality Of LifeEternal LifeWorld TodayBorn AgainPhysical BodyFeet On The Ground Author:W.

“We really are immortal in the sense that Christ’s Atonement conquers death, both physical and spiritual. And provided we have so lived Today that we have claim on the Atonement’s cleansing grace, we will live forever with God. This life is not so much a time for getting and accumulating as it is a time for giving and becoming. Mortality is the battlefield upon which justice and mercy meet. But they need not meet as adversaries, for they are reconciled in the Atonement of Jesus Christ for all who wisely use Today.” NeedsGivingUseTodaySpiritualLife IsJesusChristJusticeForeverGraceBecomingJesus ChristMercyClaimsConquerThis LifeImmortalMortalityAdversariesBattlefieldsAtonementLive ForeverCleansingJustice And Mercy Author:Lance B.

“Jesus will turn your sorrow into joy. One can only imagine the shock and bewilderment the Apostles felt when the Lord told them he must go away. Though they could not understand it at the time, his departure was for their benefit. The same is true of the unexpected setbacks and tragedies we experience in this life...When I consider the times when I have been confounded by events that seemed so contrary to what I thought God wanted for me, I should be mindful that they were permitted by the Lord's inscrutable providence for my own good, as difficult as that might be to fathom.” ShouldHas BeensMightWantedJoyTurnsJesusFeltDifficultMy OwnLordImagineEventsSorrowBenefitsTragedyContraryThis LifeShockUnexpectedGoing AwayProvidenceApostlesSetbackDepartureFathomBewildermentInscrutable Author:Patrick Madrid
“The people of Jesus' day thought holy men were unapproachable. But Jesus' work was in the marketplace. He made people feel welcome, and that they had a place.

They were the only things that lasted forever.” PeopleMenFeelsMadeTwoJesusForeverHolyConstantWelcomeThis LifeTwo ThingsMarketplaceDemonstrationHoly Man Author:Rebecca Pippert
