Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 10.10

John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” If the voice isn’t that of Jesus, then loss, death, and destruction come upon those who follow the thief. Jesus came so the sheep may have abundant life. Why didn’t Jesus just say, “Hey, guys, follow Me and leave everything else behind”? I think it’s because He was jealous for the work of the Spirit. He simply and clearly stated who He is, who He came for, and why He came. Then He trusted the Father to work through the Spirit and open their ears and eyes to see and follow. That’s love for God and love for men being expressed. This helps us know what to do as we love those God puts in our paths who don’t know Jesus. Who is Jesus? He is the Door to God’s house. Who did He come for? He came for anyone who will hear, believe, and enter. Why did He come? He came t0o save us by leading us out of death into abundant life. Thank you, Jesus!
