In the movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the storyline is built around the pursuit of what is referred to as the Holy Grail, the chalice from the last supper of Christ and supposedly anyone who drinks of the cup shall live eternally. A true adventurer kind of entertainment, no doubt. It is important for us to recognize that it is not the chalice of Christ, but Christ the source of living water and all who drink of him are the ones who attain eternal life.
In fact, Jesus explicitly defines the meaning of eternal life. He defines eternal life as follows. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:3). 1 John 5:20 reads “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
Point(s) to ponder:
Do you have eternal life? a.k.a., do you know Jesus Christ and the only true God who sent him?
