“There is a time coming when all who have died will hear the Son’s call and those who have believed in him will rise to live with him forever.” (John 5: 28-29)

Lord,

Thank you that there is a time coming when the dead will rise,

And those who trust in you will live with you forever.

Thank you for the assurance I will be with you forever,

And the peace it brings me today.

Amen

“The Father is the source of all life and he has given his Son that same life-giving power.” (John 5: 26)

Father,

You are the source of abundant life now,

And life that goes on for all eternity.

Thank you for giving me your life in abundance,

And the confidence that it will never end.

Amen

The Father doesn’t judge anyone.  Instead he has given all authority to the Son. (John 5: 22)

Father,

You have given all authority to your Son,

Who has accepted me to be in his family.

Thank you for that acceptance,

And the assurance it will never be lost.

Amen

As the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to whom he’s pleased to give it. (John 5: 21)

Lord,

You have given me life in abundance,

And I know that life goes forever with you.

Thank you for your life which changed my life,

And your peace that it will never end.

Amen
