What David said are really the words of Jesus,
"I always see the Lord near me,
and I will not be afraid with him at my right side.
Because of this, my heart will be glad,
my words will be joyful, and I will live in hope.
The Lord won't leave me in the grave.
I am his holy one, and he won't let my body decay.
He has shown me the path to life,
and he makes me glad by being near me."

My dear friends,
we are already God's children,
though what we will be hasn't yet been seen.


But we do know that when Christ returns,
we will be like him,
because we will see him as he truly is.


This hope makes us keep ourselves holy,
just as Christ is holy.
