…I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may
have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).
Though Jesus is completely God, He was born completely human. He
went through temptation after temptation and conquered every one of them.
(Hebrews 4:15) And all that overcoming power is found in His life. And He put
that life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
During Jesus’ ministry on earth, He conquered sickness, the
winds and waves, the powers of darkness and death. It is His life that brings
victory over the devil and all his works. And He put that life in you—the life
of Christ is in you!
Finally, Jesus went to the cross. And that life in Him put an
end to everything that was natural of the Adamic race—sickness, poverty,
failures, pains, curses and death. All that was natural ceased to be in that
life of His. But all that was supernatural remained in Him. And He put that
life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
Then, Jesus rose from the dead. And in that life of His was
added the power of resurrection. And He put that life in you—the life of Christ
is in you!
After His resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven to His Father.
Today, He is seated at the right hand of God, resting in His finished work,
occupying a place of the highest authority. And He put that life in you—the
life of Christ is in you!
And because Jesus went back to the Father, the Holy Spirit came
to indwell you (John 16:7), so that you will live life with His anointing in
you and walk in His overcoming power.
All that Jesus is, God meant for you to be. All that He has, God
meant for you to have. All the exciting things that you read in the Bible about
Jesus, all the treasures of Him hidden in the Old Testament and the
unsearchable riches in Him that you find in the New Testament, all of that life
of His, is not out there somewhere. God has deposited all of it in you, so that
you can live the abundant life that Jesus came to give you!
Thought For The Day:
All that Jesus is and all that He has, God has deposited in you
so that you can live the abundant life that Jesus came to give you!
