This week we continue to look at the deep fullness of life we can enter into as God’s children. Through Jesus’ own death and resurrection, we die to the world and ourselves and are born from above into a new and pure heart, and the pure in heart shall see God.
Last week we introduced thisme of abundance through one of the seven great I AM sayings of Jesus. I am the Good Shepherd, and we saw that through Jesus’ careful and consta tnt shepherding of us we ourselves become good shepherds.
Today Jesus uses a different name for himself as a way to describe how actively our Lord’s salvation works in us to make us holy and pure. Holy and pure enough, in the sufficiency of Christ, to bear fruit for the Lord.
