#56 - Joby Martin // The Good Shepherd vs. The Thief
Manage episode 472160417 series 3625879
Jesus contrasts the thief who steals, kills and destroys with Himself as the Good Shepherd who offers abundant life and lays down His life for His sheep.
• Money lies to us by promising satisfaction and security it cannot deliver
• The "abundant life" is not about accumulating possessions but about relationship with Christ
• Worldly security disappears with one phone call from a doctor or highway patrolman
• Jesus fulfills our deepest desires in ways material things never can
• The lust of the eyes (wanting stuff) is fulfilled through our eternal inheritance as co-heirs with Christ
• The lust of the flesh (wanting to feel good) is fulfilled through Christ's peace that transcends understanding
• The pride of life (wanting significance) is fulfilled as we are seated with Christ at God's right hand
• True abundance is found in Christ, not in possessions we'll eventually leave behind
