A Word For Today: Have Life and Have it to the Full. John 10:10

John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

This is a verse that I have loved for a long time. To me, it gives hope and sets things straight. Right in this one verse we have the set-up of how things are, how they always been, and how they have always been.

I adopted this verse for Winter Grace Senior Ministries, Inc. I see it as a great summary of good vs evil, God vs the evil one, satan, the world, however you want to name the other. God gives hope, abundance, fullness. The other takes by stealing, killing, and destroying.
