Again Christ appealed to those stubborn hearts. "Him that cometh 387 to Me I will in nowise cast out." All who received Him in faith, He said, should have eternal life. Not one could be lost. No need for Pharisees and Sadducees to dispute concerning the future life. No longer need men mourn in hopeless grief over their dead. "This is the will of Him that sent Me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

Atter henvendte Jesus sig til disse genstridige sjæle. "Den, som kommer til mig, vil jeg aldrig støde bort." Han sagde, at alle, der tog imod ham i tro, skulle have evigt liv. Ikke en eneste skulle gå fortabt. Der var ingen grund for farisæerne og saddukæerne til at skændes om det fremtidige liv. Der var ikke mere nogen grund for mennesker til at sørge i håbløs fortvivlelse over deres døde. "Dette er min Faders vilje, at enhver, som ser Sønnen og tror på ham, skal have evigt liv, og jeg skal oprejse ham på den yderste dag."
