Jesus Tells Us Who He Is: I am the Door

We all remember the old Army promotional campaign – "Be all you can be."  Pictures of young soldiers, accompanied by a snappy song in the background, with the words of the campaign sung with great joy.  It was a tremendous success in its day!  Interestingly, the Army leadership has recently decided to use the same slogan and approach with its new enlistment campaign.  Today's younger generations need meaning and significance in this life, and this campaign seems to reach them where they are.  They want a meaningful life and to know that they can develop their abilities and live a life that is good, full, and even 'abundant.'

 

Interestingly, that is precisely what Jesus offered his followers in one of his messages – an abundant life!  This is how Jesus said it: "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly."  (John 10:10)   Jesus was contrasting what he, the true Son of God, offered to people, and what The Evil One, through those that were leaders of earthly and corrupt faiths, offered.  Jesus asserted that He could lead his followers to a life worth living; A life that God blessed; and a life that would last forever into eternity, in the presence of the One True God. 

 

The Life that Jesus offered – an "Abundant Life"- can be experienced by all who decide to follow Jesus as Savior.  It is a very personal decision between God and every individual, and one that is literally life-changing.  

 

Let me encourage you to consider your decision to follow Jesus as Savior.  Jesus is the crucified and resurrected Son of God and the only one that can give you life and life eternal! Confess your sins to Him, ask Him into your heart, and begin living the abundant life only available through him.
