What does “Jesus is life” mean?
We were dead in our sins and trespasses. Jesus died and rose again to give us life (Ephesians 2:1–10). We no longer walk under the rule of sin or darkness, but are delivered into a marvelous light in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the light of life (John 1:4).
We are no longer carnally minded, but spiritually minded (Romans 8:6) — full of life and peace.
THE BREAD OF LIFE (John 6:35, 48, 51)
Jesus is the bread of life. We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father (Matthew 4:4). Is the Word of God your tastiest food?
THE TREE OF LIFE (Proverbs 11:30)
Jesus is the vine (John 15:1). We bear fruit when we are the branches of His vine. Without Jesus, we can do nothing (John 15:5). With Jesus, we become trees of life.
THE ABUNDANT LIFE (John 10:10)
Jesus came to give abundant life (Psalms 51:1). His abundant mercies and exceeding abundant grace (1 Timothy 1:14) help us live freely from the dominion of sin and death.
God brought us into a new and living way through the precious blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19–20). Let’s run to Him in prayer so He can fill us with His love to live life abundantly.
Maranatha, praise God, and amen.
