Be Your True Self

John 10:10
“I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”

Jesus did not become human to give us an evacuation plan to heaven. He came that we “might have life (now) and have it more abundantly (now!).” Jesus showed us how to be fully alive as human beings. As St. Irenaeus said, “The glory of God is the human being fully alive.” If we follow Jesus and allow Him to shepherd us…we will have life to the full now. We will become our true selves. What a shame if we come to our earthly life’s end and have not become who we were made to be! If you are being you and living for the kingdom of God now…then when death does come…that moment will again be now…and we believe that life will indeed be abundant!
