Life more abundantly

Jesus sets two figures side by side. The thief comes only to steal, to kill and to destroy. He comes to give life.

Abundance here isn't about money or success. The Greek word means more than enough, beyond measure. A full life, not a busy life. It's the difference between a diary that is full and a heart that is full.

Question for today

Is my life full, or just busy?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, you give life abundantly. Protect me from what steals my life. Fill me with what is truly life. Amen.
