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.
Read John 10:10.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Read Lamentation 3:22-23.
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Read John 4:10-14.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Read John 10:7-10.
7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Read John 13:34-35.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
