Abundant Life Now

Read John 10:1-10 Fourth Sunday of Easter When I read these passages I’m struck that the active language is not always sin and forgiveness, but the active language is life and light and love and abundance. Which leads me to wonder, have we narrowed how we understand and talk about the salvation Jesus brings? “All who enter by me,” Jesus says, "will be saved.” Have we adopted a largely negative view of salvation? Salvation is often understood as the removal or deletion of our sin and failure. But here Jesus tells us salvation is the creation of new life and possibility. Join me in this short devotion as we explore "abundant life now".
