Tuesday 17th March ~ John 10.1‐10 ~ Jean 10. 1-10

“St Patrick’s Breastplate” is often sung or prayed on March 17th. This poem

reminds us that we are always under God’s love, and that we’re to protect

our hearts and minds by clinging to who God is and all that he has done for

us.

In today’s reading, Jesus promises us “life to the full”. David Lose explains: “at

the heart of the Gospel is the resurrection promise of life and possibility and

potential and power. That we are not only saved from something but

also for something, for life in all its abundance here and now.”

Clinging to God’s love and truth – as The Breastplate reminds us to do – stops

us getting trapped up in all the lies the world tells us; lies about identity,

purpose, and worth, which weigh us down and prevent us experiencing life in

its fullness.

As followers of Christ, we’re also to help others experience the John 10:10

promise. What this requires will differ for every individual we meet – food for

the hungry, shelter for the cold, friendship for the lonely, help for young

parents, or a listening ear for the stressed out.

Pray today that we would remember God’s love and promises, and that we

would be given eyes to see how best to share that love with others.
