October 8, 2023: This Is The Life!

"In him was life, and the life was the light of men." (John 1:4, ESV)

One of the most incredible things about a good vacation is being at rest, feeling alive, and enjoying life. This is where the phrase 'This is the life!' is most often spoken. The world has a way of wringing the life out of us, but God has a way of recharging us when we get into His presence and 'by faith' drink Him in!

Jesus is known as the Life! Everyone who believed in Him in the scriptures encountered Him as the Life-Giver. You could not help but be more alive after meeting Jesus! Jesus is life itself! Vitality is what comes out of Him and fills others who believe. When a person is born again, they are no longer dead but alive! The vitality of God causes them to come alive in Christ.

Jesus is God's complete expression, and there will never be a need to doubt who God is ever again! Jesus is the perfect picture of a man 'full of God', 'led by God', and 'enjoying God.' God wants us filled with His life. In fact, John 7:38 says, "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" (John 7:38, ESV) You were born to be alive and a source of God, a flowing river of life to so many others. Yes, this is the life!
