The main event of life is my relationship with Jesus. This relationship is the focus of all of life …. in all situations good and bad …… The relationship with Jesus is life! Jesus said; “I have come that you might have life, and life more abundantly!” (John 10:10)
Why did Jesus say “that you might (or can) have life?” Because I have to accept His offer of real life. It is not automatic with no action on my part. From this event of accepting His offer, our relationship is born and as a little child, all of life flows from learning to follow Him.
From here I continue to mature and relate with Jesus as my brother who does all of life with me and walks with me on into heaven!
A meditation thought: If I am like Jesus, am I bringing life and abundant life to those around me? That’s what a relational parent would do.
