So when Jesus had said this, he went on to say in plain terms, 'It is for God’s glory that I maintain my life until I see your joy; and now it is fulfilled. Very truly I tell you, you will seek me, and as you seek for me you will find eternal life.'" (NIV) - Jesus' words offer hope of eternal life and rest in the presence of God.
