God Gave Us Eternal Life

"God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possess the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.
"I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God." (1 Jn. 5: 12-13.)
As we continue our reflections with St. John on this Child adored by the Magi, and revealed to the nations, we see him today as the door to eternal life. The key to the door is FAITH. If we want the fullness of life in eternity, and even more proximately here on earth, we need faith, even faith the size of a mustard seed. "For I tell you, if you have faith, the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Mt 17:20). Mustard seeds are tiny, so Jesus is telling us that we don't need mountains of faith, but just a tiny bit. No excuses for us; we can move mountains, we can do the impossible. "Lord, I do believe. Help my unbelief" (Mk 9:24).
