I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10: 9-10
Last night Patrina and I watched a YouTube channel following a couple we’ve watched over the last few years. Patrina summed up their lives as ones seeking adventure. Of course, we see the edited version of life in about thirty minutes, but they do seem to enjoy each other and new experiences.
Over the last few weeks I have been returning to a common theme of what it means to lead a truly full life – a life that counts and has meaning. Life to the full may have a different meaning to us here in the last few months of 2024, so what did Christ mean with His promise of abundant life?
One of my study Bible’s says that “Jesus calls his followers, not to a dour, lifeless, miserable existence that squashes human potential, but to a rich, full, joyful life, one overflowing with meaningful activities under the personal favor and blessing of God and in continual fellowship with his people.”
I’ve got no time for a lifeless, miserable existence. I’m looking for a meaningful adventure, how about you?
