The Book of Life
This is Joni Eareckson Tada, and I am dumping my old address book for a new one. My old book is so smeared and stained, I can’t even understand some of the names. Plus, as I’ve transferred the info, I’ve had to dump some names because I’ve forgotten just who those people are. I am so relieved that God’s Book of Life does not resemble my address book with all its stains, erasures and unreadable names. The Bible says “I will never erase his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and His angels.” Hallelujah, Jesus won’t use an eraser when it comes to His Book of Life! No smears, no stains, no smudges. And thankfully, it is not so jam-packed with names that Jesus can’t remember who is who. Friend, if you are a Christian; rejoice that your name is listed in the Book of Life. And it’s written in His blood; that is permanent ink for sure.
