ABUNDANT LIFE
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. JOHN 10:10
In a hot, oppressive desert, sheep are vulnerable to the elements and predators. They need a shepherd who can lead them to water and food each day and keep them safe each night.
Jesus tells us that He is that Shepherd. Unlike the thief, who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” Jesus has come that we may “have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). He knows us by name and is committed to our care. Life as one of Jesus’ sheep is indeed full-full of His abundant love, faithful attention, and amazing grace.
Jesus saves us. He rescues us from an eternity without the light of God’s presence. He also saves our souls from loneliness, our spirits from heaviness, our minds from guilt and anxiety, and one day He will rescue our bodies from the decay of the world. We owe our entire lives to our great Savior and Rescuer.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
