John 3.3,5 - Heaven in the Real World

I saw a young man this week at the hospital who could have been plucked from among the cool, handsome, guys of ZGC. But this was not his best day - ashen skin, gaunt body, grim face. As I prayed for him I thought, “What does he need most?” A miracle? God can. Yet Jesus has great news for people who will keep on getting sick, and hungry, and thirsty until their last day on earth. Life with Jesus is beyond the spectacular. Jesus promised ‘new birth’ to a man already old - ’Living water’ to a woman who must return to the well daily - ‘Crossing from death to life’ to man still mortal - ‘Living bread’ to those who must share a boy’s lunch - life ‘above’ even while our feet stay on fallen earth – ‘eternal life’ here and now….and forever.
