"Living the Abundant Life!"
John 10:1-10, NKJV
Rev. John Donaldson
One of the great promises in the Bible is found at John 10:10, where Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly!” The “they” that Jesus is referring to are his sheep, and the promise is that as we follow our Shepherd, we will find abundant life! That is the good news. The bad news is that Jesus says that there is a thief seeking us too -- seeking to “steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” How do we avoid the thief and follow our Shepherd? That is the question we are looking at this week. Hope to see you all!
Blessings,
Pastor John
