Recently during worship, our grandson, Ellis, who has just turned four, was singing “Our God, He is Alive”. Looking up to his mama he asked , “Mama, what does survive mean?”
His mama quietly answered “It means that we are able to keep being alive.”
Ellis urgently responded “I don’t want to just survive. I want to live!”
Me, too, Ellis. Me, too!
And Jesus said he came to earth so that we could do just that.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep ( John 10:10,11).
Don’t just survive life in this old sinful world. I’d love to study with you about the abundant life. I have no personal handle on it. But my Lord is the one Who came and gave me access. He gave His life for me. Don’t let the greatest gift be wasted on you!
