Okay, so Jesus promised us an abundant life. And so often we’re head down, pedalling so hard, we lose sight of the big picture. If there is a heaven and a hell - and eternity to go with them - then the reality of heaven and hell is infinitely bigger than the reality of here and now.

Sometimes as we’re travelling through things in life that we’d rather not be travelling through, we can get to imagining that any promise of God’s blessing, of an abundant life - must be a promise for some time way off in the future.

I spent a good chunk of my life looking for happiness, but I never found what I was looking for. Problem with happiness is that it’s linked to our circumstances - can’t be happy if something difficult is happening. Turns out, I wasn’t looking for happiness at all. What I longed for, was joy. It’s just back then, I didn’t realise that, because I didn’t know what Joy was.Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/adp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Life can be a grind, and frankly life can get us down. We all know that. And so our view of what life is, and what it should be, becomes all twisted - inside out and upside down.

One of the ways that God explains His relationship with us, is that He is our Father, and we are His children.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on about Jesus is that He didn’t do anything by half measures. No -- He threw Himself into things and when He said something, He meant it.

Jesus promised each of his disciples - that’s anyone who believes in Him - an abundant life. Yeah, right!! But in the same breath - in the very same verse in the Bible, he also says that there’s a thief - and all the thief is interested in is to steal, kill and destroy.
