Blessed because John 3 verse 16:

“For God loved the world in this way; He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”.

Blessed because of the main reasons His Son Our Lord and Friend came:

1.To stop us from being robbed; john 10 verse 10:

“The thief {Satan} comes only to steal and kill and destroy”.

2. And to give us what we didn’t deserve;

“i am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”.

There are two words for ‘life’ in the original Greek language in which the New Testament was originally written.

There is first of all the word ‘bios’, from which we get the word ‘biology’. This means finite, physical life,

Then there is the word ‘zoe’, from which we get the word ‘zoology’. This means infinite, spiritual life.

This is what our Lord and Our Friend is saying that He came to earth in order to give those who follow Him a life that lasts for ever with Him,  A life with more abundance, abundant life that satisfies everything in our lives, and our deepest longings. A blessed life, in Him and Through Him.

Most of the world settle for a life, that the adversary of God offers and have been,robbed, over and over again.

We are blessed because Our Lord and Our Friend is All-powerful and came to defeat Satan, and to restore what the enemy has stolen, the abundant Life, He first created for us to walk in.

Blessed or Robbed it is a choice; Joshua 24 verse 15; Choose today who you serve, ‘As for me and my family we will worship The Lord’, not for what He can give us, but because He loves us and wants to bless us, with a life of more abundance. Abundance in the Love, Joy and Peace He has for us.

God Bless.
