“It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.”
John 5:24 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
So, this isn’t Paul or Luke or Matthew or even John. Nay, this is Jesus himself who is telling you and me to “listen carefully!” If you have listened carefully, and if you have done as Jesus says, then you must rejoice, gentle reader, for you have “taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.”
