A LIFE WORTH LIVING

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Sometimes, people think Christians live the most boring lives imaginable. But nothing could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is that a happy life is a holy life—a life that is lived for God. Jesus not only promised us life hereafter, but also a life on this earth that is worth living when He said, “I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”

There are two ways we can live our lives: the right way and the wrong way. There are two paths we can take: the narrow path that leads to life or the broad way that leads to destruction. There are two foundations we can build on: the rock or sinking sand. The result is that we can either live a happy and holy life or a miserable and unholy life.

When most people think of a life dedicated to God, they envision something full of misery and rules and regulations. The picture that most unbelievers have of a Christian is one of gloom and boredom. But when you know God and you realize that the Bible is not a mere book, but God’s living Word to each of us, it takes on a whole new meaning.  When you realize that prayer is not just going through some ritual, but it is communicating with the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God who is interested in you, that means a lot.

That is something that the world does not have. There is nothing like it out there. When you truly come to know God, you realize the Christian life is the greatest life there is.

Prayer: Father, thank You for this glorious life I have in Christ.

1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Jesus the Good Shepherd

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

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.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and le…
