Life to me

Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came so that we may have “life and life to the full.” This life is meant to be more than just going through the motions. We are meant to experience life through the lens of eternity—through the lens of Jesus. 

Because of Jesus’ extravagant love for us, we have life, we have freedom, and we have hope! Our challenge is to then go out and love others the way Jesus has loved us. We show others through our words, thoughts, and actions that life with Jesus is just better. 

Lamentations says that His mercies are new every morning. Your sin is erased, your past is forgiven, your shame is undone in Jesus. In Jesus, you have true life.

John 10:10 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

Lamentations 3:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

John 4:10-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
