Today’s Scripture: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 ESV
The way and life of Jesus shows us abundant life. I find peace in knowing that the life of Jesus shows us the way.
I continue to see Jesus, the Father, the Spirit and myself in a new way; in Jesus’ way. He tells us He is the door John 10:9 and as we go in and out through Him we find life. I know I can trust Jesus, the Word of God, to continue to show me the way.
Jesus said He was the way and that He was in the Father and the Father was in Him. Living through Jesus we come to know the Father’s abundance.
I am relieved to know that I do not need perfect understanding to worship a perfect God. I just need to follow Jesus and learn from His life.
Do you learn more from the life of Jesus or from His death?
Today’s Prayer: Our Father in Heaven thank You for also being in me and allowing me to be in You. LORD teach me how to live through Jesus. Help me to apply my heart to understanding and trusting You for Your abundance and fullness. Amen

Wow that is a really hard question Tom. Through His death I have learned what it means to forgive (he had to die to do it so must I), and the nature of sacrifice. Through His life I have learned the art of hope and of looking to that hope in the midst of trials. There is so much more. I guess I just have to go with what Paul siad “I long to know Christ in the fellowship of His sufferings that might somehow attain unto the resurrection.”
