"I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10).
In John 18: 37, Jesus told Pontius Pilate that the purpose of His coming is to bear witness to the truth. In John 10: 10, He said that His purpose is to give us a rich and satisfying life. Do you believe that He who came to bear witness to the truth is telling the truth about coming to help us live life to the fullest? Are you living a great full life?
What really is Christ promising here? He is promising the unrationed gift of the Holy Spirit. (John 3: 34). The Holy Spirit is the Abundant life. (John 10: 10).
Deepak Chopra wrote in his book, "CREATING AFFLUENCE": "Affluence is the experience in which our needs are easily met and our desires spontaneously fulfilled. We feel joy, health, happiness, and vitality in every moment of our existence." Our prayers are answered and we feel the pure joy of answered prayer. The Holy Spirit is Abundant Life and the Creator of Affluence in our lives.
In the Veni Creator Spiritu (Come O Holy Spirit and fill the hearts...), we ask Abba Father to grant that we may always rejoice in the consolations of the Holy Spirit. We are asking that our lives will overflow with abundant goods and affluence.
If you do not know what I am talking about, please prepare yourself for Pentecost. Pentecost 2018 is Sunday May 20th.
