What if I told you that following God brings life? Many of us think that God is going to destroy our lives and make things different. Somehow we believe that change is the worst thing - or that our lives are just fine as they are.
At least one implication I see in this passage is that we are meant to change - and to have real life! Verses 11-12 here show us that Jesus alone gives life - eternal life. The earlier verses show us what aspects of life Jesus affects - all of them! Jesus came, lived and showed us how so that we might really live and have it to the full. It is not change for the sake of changing or different so that we can be weird. It is these things because we are broken, ruined vessels that bear His image and need to be redeemed into what He wants. It is our redemption that leads us to change - that leads us to love. How are you living your redemption on a daily basis?
