John 10:10 - The Abundant Life!
John 10:10 (NKJV) I have come that they may
have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.
John 10:10 (MSG) I came so they can have
real and eternal life, more and better life than
they ever dreamed of.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Life During Life
An interest in life on Mars seems to run
in cycles. At this writing, our nation has a
new exploration robot prowling around and
digging little holes in the dirt near the Martian
north pole.
A few years ago, I was even interviewed
for an article about life on other planets. I
said, "I don't see anything in the Bible that
would indicate there is life on other planets, but
if there is, God created it." They closed the
article with another of my statements: "Maybe we
shouldn't be so worried about life on other planets
and ask ourselves the question, 'Is there life
on Earth, and are we living it the way God
wants us to?'"
We often wonder whether there is life
after death. But is there life during life? That
is a question we all should consider.
When I was seventeen, that was my
question. I wasn't so concerned with what happened
beyond the grave at that age because I thought I
would live a long, long time. My primary concern
at that time was, "What's life all about?
What's the purpose of life?" I knew in my heart
there had to be more than what I'd experienced to
that point. I was desperately searching for some
kind of meaning in life. I just had to know.
Thankfully, I didn't have to look very
far because there was a group of very outspoken
Christians on my high school campus. They practiced
what they preached, and I was intrigued by them.
So I began to watch them. I saw that they were
experiencing a dimension of life that I had never known.
Not long after that, I gave my life to Jesus and
discovered the truth of Jesus' great statement from
John 10:10: "I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly."
That's what I had been searching for: life during
life.
Ask the Lord to point you toward someone
today who may be searching for that very thing.
