Don't waste your life!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”.  John 10:10

Life is precious. It’s precious because God is the source, sustainer and satisfaction of life. When God breathe into the body of Adam, which He created, he became a living soul. As living souls, we can enjoy God, each-other and all that God created for His glory and our eternal good. 

However, when man sinned in the garden, giving into the lies and temptation of the enemy, death as a consequence became part of the human experience. And it’s brought great sorrow and pain to the world ever since. 

But praise God for the second Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45-49). In the gospel of John we read: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). This is the meaning of Christmas. Jesus came so that we, who have been ripped off by the devil can have life and have it more abundantly—so that we who believe don’t waste our lives running after things that will not ultimate satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. Jesus was born to die so that we could be born again and live. 

On December 30th I will bring a message from John 10:10 titled, “Don’t waste your life.” God has brought me a mighty long way since I was born again. The more I get to know Him in good times and Hard times, the more I want my redeemed, revived and restored life to make a difference for the cause of Christ in the world. How about you? In the message to bring us into the new year we will learn from God’s word about living the abundant Christian life, which Jesus made possible through His first coming. You don’t want to miss it.
