Searching in all the Right Places

It happens all too often: we “know” where something is, only to find out we’re wrong.

• We’re sure our keys are hanging on the key rack, but instead we left them in our pocket.
• That restaurant was on the corner; now, it has relocated to the other part of town.
• The bread was in aisle 3; now, it’s in aisle 1.

In the religious world people look for the right things, but in the wrong places.

Eternal life is something that everyone needs, and should want! Where do we go to find it? Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me (John 5:39).”

The first place to look is the Bible! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and His word abides forever (1 Peter 1:23). When we study the Scriptures we learn to find eternal life, where it really is; in Jesus Christ!

John writes, “And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:11-13).”

Now that we see where eternal life is; let’s come and get it!
