Christ
said in John 10.10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
God’s
original plan for man was to be enriched, and to have a prosperous abundant
life. We know this from scripture. In
Genesis we are told that God made everything and declared it to be good. He then handed it all over to Adam to ‘have
dominion’ over all of it.
Then the
archdeceiver, the thief, murderer and destroyer – Satan the Devil- showed up;
actively at work, operating in so many subtle ways and forms with the intent to
hinder our receiving God’s original plan.
But the good news is that Christ came to break and block the thief’s
intent.
Christ
came to give us rest from the cares and stresses of daily living; to inspire
and encourage us in this world of war and turmoil; to deliver us from the enemy
who trades with our soul; as a Defender of life, Christ promises us eternal
life. He calls us to abide in Him so that His life will flow through us. He came to ensure that we receive abundant
life in over flowing measure. He is a Generous Giver.
As we
give our total self to Him, He will give His total Self to us.
Le Christ est venu afin que nous ayons la vie, une vie
abondante.
Abandonnons-nous à Lui.
