Not an Amazon Delivery
Christ came that we might have life abundant. And it is your Christian duty to walk around every day in that abundant life, filled to the brim and overflowing. Strangely enough, this abundant life is not your own life. It is the life of another that you are living. After all, Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). But Christ did not come with life in a box like some Amazon delivery man to hand you the package and return to heaven. He came as Life Himself, never to leave us or forsake us.
So we are not here to maintain the life we have been given as much as we are here to have that Life maintain us. Which is to say the life we live we live by grace beginning, middle, and end. It is not started by the Spirit and enlarged by the flesh. But it is enlarged forever and aye. So ask the Lord to give you life, more life, and life abundantly. And remember as you ask, to ask in Jesus’ name.
