(Click HERE for MP3 sermon audio.)
The sermon today comes from John 10:1-21, with an emphasis on vs. 10. This is the verse where Jesus proclaims, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." What is "life abundantly?" How does one get it and for what purpose?
I attempt to provide some possible answers to these questions by taking a look at this passage and this verse in the context of John chapters 7-9 that immediately precede today's passage. My contention is that today's passage is the climax and the summary of the previous three chapters and it is best understood within the context leading up to it. So whatever the abundant life is, it is related to something already provided in John's writings.
