Eternal life

The gospel. Never failing to amaze and confound. 

I think about this at Vacation Bible School this summer. In a room full of kids hearing testimonies from those sent to the ends of the earth. Sent to share the Good News in places where He is not known. 

Then we bring it home to where they are. Today. Sitting on a carpet in an air-conditioned church building. 

Jesus came that they too might have eternal life. And we tell the way of salvation.

Closed

Tired. In the face of closed doors and shuttered hearts.

Discouraged by disinterest. Low-grade resistance.

Some could care less about eternal realities.

It’s easy to feel like giving up.

Servants know

The servants know. 

They’re going about assigned duties. Ordinary behind-the-scenes labor. Keeping food and drink flowing at the wedding feast.

But then the unthinkable happens.

“They have no wine” (John 2:3).
