| Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. |
King Solomon in Ecclesiastes lamented about the vanity of life in this world. So what's 'life' to you?
Is life just about following the cycle of birth, growing old, falling sick and death? What makes human different from other creatures?
According to Bible, human is the only creation of God that is made in His image (Gen 1:27), and became alive when God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Gen 2:7). In another word, man is created to have the zōē life of God in him!
So what's the life of God? Just look at Jesus (Jhn 8:19)!
Jesus lived a victorious life, in both the physical and spiritual realms. Even during His temporary submission to the pharisees and Romans, even when He was scourged and hang on the cross, all these were done so that Christ's victory over sins and death is complete. He is now sitting down on His throne in heaven as a victorious King. His victory is total and complete, else He would not be able to sit at God's right hand (Mat 16:19)!
What's the source of this victorious life? The answer lies in God's love for Him.
Jesus always walked in God love, and called God His Father (Luk 2:49), as the Spirit of God with Him from birth (Luk 1:35). God even directly declared from heaven His love for Jesus (Mat 3:17) and most of all, God is love (1 J0 4:8).
My friend, if you feel that you are always a victim of circumstances, and life have dealt you a raw deal as you are trapped in unending cycles of lack (materially and emotionally) and sicknesses, you can have a choice of saying 'no' to all these and 'yes' to the victorious life that is your birth-right!
God wants you to live a victorious life, the life that you as a child of God deserve because you have been fully qualified by God through the blood of Jesus on the cross two thousand years ago.
Say 'yes' to Jesus, acknowledge Him as your Lord and Savior and receive His life into you (Jhn 6:53) to be a heir of this world (Rom 4:13), to be a victorious witness, AMEN!
