John 1:4
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
In any buddy movie, if they are ever laid out at a pool or beach, inevitably one will look at the other, drop his sunglasses down his nose, and say, “This is the life.” When you go to those places, you can feel the same thing for about 45 minutes. Then you need to find a bathroom, or the sun is too hot, or the sand starts to itch, or more likely, the children need 5,000 things.
In Jesus, we are promised both life and light. When Jesus gives life, He gives it to the full. Not just continuing existence, the bible teaches that everyone will exist forever. He wants to give you life, help you really start living, sort of like that tired phrase. He wants to show you what life really is, what you were made for. And He isn’t a guide like the hotel employee who shows you to your room then, hopefully, leaves. That life is in Him. Are you looking to Jesus and your relationship to Him to find your life?
Prayer prompt: Lord, please show me the real life that can only be found in you.
