Corinthians 12:10
For those who want to
live the good life, the blessed life, the prosperous life:
“Therefore I take pleasure
in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses
for CHRIST’s sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
JESUS said, “The thief
does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that
they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly.” John 10:10
Abundance means a very
great quantity; more than enough.
What did JESUS say He
was giving an abundance of? Life – being alive. Not prosperity or blessings or
goodness but division and persecution through obedience. Matthew 5:10-12;
Matthew 6:24; Matthew 7:13-14; Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 8:19-22; Matthew
10:16-39.
“And you will be hated
by all for My Name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 10:22
