What has Jesus got to do with me?
Posted on 27. Apr, 2010 by Michael Plaege in FAQs, What we believe, Who is Jesus?
Jesus made some significant claims about himself and the life he offers to those who trust and follow him. One such claim Jesus was – ‘I have come to give… life and life to the full!’ found in John’s Gospel chapter 10 and verse 10. As our creator Jesus came to earth to give us what we all want but find impossible to take hold of ourselves – rich satisfying life that lasts! The life Jesus promises is not ‘trouble-free’ life that means we never suffer or hurt but life we are able to successfully negotiate with God at the helm. And most importantly life that doesn’t end… life that is not interrupted by death, the spoiler of all good things. How does Jesus achieve this life for us? He does it by dealing with the one thing that makes life on both sides of the grave a misery – our sin (our rebellion towards God shown in our desire to live life without Him as our loving ruler). The Bible says when Jesus goes to the cross he suffers the judgement of God not for his sins, for he was the perfect man but for our sin. Raised to life by God, Jesus now offers the kind of life we were made for in relationship with Him now and into eternity.
