One of my very favorite Scriptures is found in John 10:10! Let's look also at verse 9:
9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
Jesus began by letting it be known that HE was the only WAY! When we receive HIM as Lord and personal Savior, THEN we qualify to RECEIVE the promise of verse 10! In verse 10 Jesus is comparing Himself and His plans with those of the thief, the enemy, the devil! Where the devil, no matter how "nice" he can makes things seem, desires our destruction, Jesus came for the very purpose of getting us in position to walk in the fullness of the blessing! He WANTS us to have LIFE (zoe - life as Jesus has in Himself!), and have it in abundance, to the full, till it overflows from us! People will SEE this and flock to HIM! AMEN! Jesus goes on in that chapter to make it abundantly clear that no one TOOK His life from Him (verses 17-18)! Jesus GAVE His life, and the choice was totally and completely HIS! AMEN!
There is something else that I would like to make note of from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today! Ezekiel 33:7-9 tells us what the God of the Bible expects us to do concerning warning the wicked.
7 So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand. 9 But if you warn the wicked to turn from his evil way and he does not turn from his evil way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
So, speak up, exposing the evil you see and hear. Declare to the world that their is a better WAY and His Name is JESUS! AMEN! Be a DOER of God's Word and God's Word will work for you! Here is Hillsong United with "Tell The World":
Shalom in Him!
