What John really means by “eternal life”

Actually, this is a link to my last homily at St. Paul’s from a few weeks ago.  I’d love to get some feedback on it, since I tried something new: I blended poetry and prose together and chose to describe the issues rather then answer them.  Let me know what you think!

And by the way: the Greek we translate as eternal life is in the present tense, so “eternal” is present, not a description of time.  So “eternal life” is less about living forever in heaven and more about living a vibrant life here.  Just so we are clear.  This is all the more relevant considering the fringe’s attacks on Rob Bell.

NOTE: updated to include the link I originally forgot
