John 10:10 NASB "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly."They finally found him but not until he had done damage to many! Every night at the fire house, we responded to another fire set by the same person, the arsonist was set on destroying homes by fire and did so at his leisure! Today we read God's Word that speaks of the thief coming only to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give life and life abundantly! After the arsonist was found, the people in the neighborhood could breath easier, knowing that the recent fires were over. When the news reported it, they left out a key part. That after each fire, the Red Cross would show up and care for those displaced from their homes. Giving food, shelter and helping them get life started again. So, we have two groups of people, those who come to destroy and those who share the abundant life in Christ- the question is... what group are we in?! peace, tom
