It is true that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior we receive eternal life. We have an eternity to look forward to – an eternity to be spent in the presence of God in heaven. No longer do we think of this earthly life as the focus of our attention. We can set our hearts on things above. But the emphasis in this verse is on the present ministry of our Savior. What is Jesus doing at the right hand of God? He’s interceding for us – praying to God for us. That’s an important part of our focus. Let’s set our hearts on His position there and what it means to us.
For 17 years, Richard B. Anderson, a retired missionary penned these short encouraging devotionals. By God's grace the timeless truth in these short devotionals continue to be a blessing and encouragement to many.
