John 10:10
10… I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Though Jesus is completely
God, He was born completely human. He went through temptation after
temptation and conquered every one of them. (Hebrews 4:15) And all that
overcoming power is found in His life. And He put that life in you — the
life of Christ is in you!
During Jesus’ ministry on earth,
He conquered sickness, the winds and waves, the powers of darkness and
death. It is His life that brings victory over the devil and all his
works. And He put that life in you — the life of Christ is in you!
Finally, Jesus went to the cross.
And that life in Him put an end to everything that was natural of the
Adamic race — sickness, poverty, failures, pains, curses and death. All
that was natural ceased to be in that life of His. But all that was
supernatural remained in Him. And He put that life in you — the life of
Christ is in you!
Then, Jesus rose from the dead.
And in that life of His was added the power of resurrection. And He put
that life in you — the life of Christ is in you!
After His resurrection, Jesus
went back to heaven to His Father. Today, He is seated at the right hand
of God, resting in His finished work, occupying a place of the highest
authority. And He put that life in you — the life of Christ is in you!
And because Jesus went back to
the Father, the Holy Spirit came to indwell you (John 16:7), so that you
will live life with His anointing in you and walk in His overcoming
power.
All that Jesus is, God meant for
you to be. All that He has, God meant for you to have. All the exciting
things that you read in the Bible about Jesus, all the treasures of Him
hidden in the Old Testament and the unsearchable riches in Him that you
find in the New Testament, all of that life of His, is not out there
somewhere. God has deposited all of it in you, so that you can live the
abundant life that Jesus came to give you!
