"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
--Jesus
John 10:10
The thief... stole life... with a lie... in the beginning...
Jesus... brings restoration... in the end...
As followers... disciples... we must learn to do... what Jesus did... does... willingly... pay the price... take the time... bear the mess... of restoration...
Just six days till Easter... four to the Friday... marked with the cross...
Let's focus this week... consider... what's been restored in our lives... and... what following... might mean...
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me. ..."
Matthew 16:24
