10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John explains that Jesus Christ came to give us life. Jesus came into the world to die in our place so that we can have life.
Question 1
What is the difference between what Jesus offers and what the thief offers?
Question 2
In what way do we need ‘life’?
Question 3
Read all of chapter 10. How does Jesus describe himself? How does this description give comfort you today?
Pray:
Thank you, Lord, that Jesus has come to give people life—and life in all its fullness! Thank you that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who has come to sacrifice his life for his sheep. Help us to believe in Jesus today.
