Gracious Father, source of all good things and most especially the goodness that is your presence and love, thank you for giving us the undying life that is in your Son, Jesus Christ. May we hold always to your Son that we may retain the life that flows through him and thereby remain in communion with you, through him who died for our sake and now reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever and ever. Amen.
‘And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.’ – 1 John 5:11-12
