Thank you Jesus.

This is not the very first verse that I learned. This is the first verse that comes to mind when people start preaching "salvation" at me. When they quote John 3:16. It is really a shame that most of the "church" doesn't even know this verse exist. Hence, they really have no clue what "eternal life" is.

And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
(John 17:3)

Wow! What a beautiful verse this is! It plainly tells us what "eternal life" REALLY is.

Hi everyone.
I particularly love Paul's letter to the Phillippians, but I would like to share a verse. I was recently in my car listening to a Christian station and the preacher brought up a verse that a lady was touched by. I disagree with most orthodox church teachings but I listen to them on the radio once in a while anyway because I can learn a thing or two.
Here it is:
Luke 12:37
37`Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

I think it is pretty incredible to think of this. I suppose it is also related to the time when Jesus washed his disciples' feet. I also wish to share this:
 43Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so;

 44truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set him.

I have been thinking of this a lot lately. For instance the disciple John was particularly close to Lord Jesus. He travelled with Jesus and preached the gospel. When Jesus was on the cross, He gave John the responsibility of caring for His earthly mother Mary. Later, John ministered to the flock and wrote letters included in scripture. And finally, we know that John (well there is some debate as to whether it was John the apostle but I believe it was) was given the responsibility of transcribing Revealations.
