Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came so that we may have “life and life to the full.” This life is meant to be more than just going through the motions. We are meant to experience life through the lens of eternity—through the lens of Jesus.
Because of Jesus’ extravagant love for us, we have life, we have freedom, and we have hope! Our challenge is to then go out and love others the way Jesus has loved us. We show others through our words, thoughts, and actions that life with Jesus is just better.
Lamentations says that His mercies are new every morning. Your sin is erased, your past is forgiven, your shame is undone in Jesus. In Jesus, you have true life.

“Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.””
