The
work of the thief is that he takes away from you; kills and destroys
everything. I came to give you full, complete, unending life; a better life
than you can imagine. (John 10:10)
Is your faith about dos
and don’ts? Is following rules at the foundation of your hope? Or, do you work
hard trying to do enough good deeds to accomplish God’s favor?
With this message, Jesus
offers a new relationship. He offers to give you a great life, simply because
that’s who He is. It is His work to change your life to one of purpose
and meaning. Your work is to invite the Holy Spirit to make that change.
Immediately before this assurance, Jesus explains, “I am the source – all the
other roads lead to the thieves.”
To find this “full and
complete” life, you learn to hear God’s voice and follow Him, closely. Follow
closely enough that no thief can take you away.
