Over and over, Jesus invited people into an experience of life he referred to as "eternal" or "abundant" life. His invitation was into a certain quality of life, upheld by specific realities that enabled him to sleep calmly in the midst of a great storm at sea, to face the horrors of the journey to his death and still choose to walk that path, to look out upon the crowd who demanded his death and came to watch and jeer as he hung on a cross dying and still utter pleas in their defense to the Father. How does Jesus do that? Where does that kind of fearlessness, courage and compassion come from?
