Jesus Came…
Posted: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 Filed under: 2k13 | Tags: abundant life, followers of Jesus, John 10:10, purpose Comments Off on Jesus Came……to give us life, a rich and satisfying life, an abundant life, better than we could have ever dreamed, to the full, till it overflows, and have it abundantly…in ALL its fullness.
What if we actually lived our lives like we really and truly believed that? As followers of Jesus, do we live life like someone literally came to earth, died to save us, and then rose from the dead?
That’s the question that I have been wrestling with the last week or so.
Do I live life like Someone actually was born for the sole purpose to ‘take a bullet’ for me, just so that I could live an outrageously, ridiculously abundant life?
What does that even look like???
