Following Jesus at ChristmasSample

What an important verse to build your view of God and life from (John 10:10). Jesus spells out a pretty important truth about the difference between those who submit to Satan versus those who give their lives to Jesus. The enemy’s agenda for you and me is death and destruction. His focus is going to lead you toward choices that diminish your life. But Jesus came this Christmas season to give a new way of life that leads to a different set of results. While we’re going to face challenges and difficulties, the principles and truth of God’s Word will produce life and abundance in you. As we follow Him and apply His truth, we’ll see the fruit of a godly life. The growth is like a seed that produces fruit over time; it’s not an overnight process, but rather one that should progress upward year after year.

Reflection

• Is there any area of my life in which I’m settling for the enemy’s agenda rather than the abundant desire of Jesus?
• Are there any biblical principles that I know I need to apply but am not currently putting into practice?
