‘Life to the full’
January 30, 2010
‘...I have come that they may have life...to the full.’ John 10:10 NIV
Reminiscing about his past a father tells his children, ‘When I was young I used to climb mountains, surf waves, explore caves and tramp through remote country. I couldn’t wait for the weekend to get out and explore more of God’s creation. Now I only ever talk about what I used to do!’ Ever felt like that? You get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, drop into bed, get up next day and do it all again? Like Solomon, sometimes you can feel like ‘Everything is meaningless…’ (Ecclesiastes 12:8 NLT) But it doesn’t have to be that way. Francis Schaeffer said, ‘Man has a purpose; to be in a relationship with God…when he forgets his purpose he forgets who he is and what life means.’ There’s more to life than doing the same old same old day after day. Jesus said ‘…I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'(John 10:10 NIV) and the first step is acknowledging that He died to show you the way back to God. Step two is recognising you need a personal relationship with Him. Step three is using the Bible as a blueprint for purpose and fulfilment. It’s the only book that answers the important questions, ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Why am I here?’ You’re not ‘a mistake’ as one woman said after discovering her mother had tried to abort her. In God’s eyes you have great value, and today He offers you ‘life to the full.’
