    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012
     | 4,313 views

    Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

    “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more

    As I explored our two line story today – which is a short message with a big idea - I paid attention to the meaning of Jabez’s name which to me became important to get a little background on this man’s life. So let’s look for a moment at the meaning of his name.
