The world often looks at a religious life as a life of stifling restrictions, a list of things you can’t do. Jesus told His disciples that He came to bring people full, abundant lives. That’s a bold claim for someone who was falsely accused and executed when He was in His early thirties. What did He mean, and how can we live that kind of right side-up life in an upside-down world?
John 10:10 (NASB) "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
