Our prayer verse for this week from Colossians 3: 1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
"For you died .. your life is now .. Christ .. is your life". One of the most significant understandings in my life was when I came to understand that eternal life is now. It wasn't something that was just going to happen after I physically died. Romans 6:8 tells us "Now if we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him." And then John 17:3 tells us "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
