Jesus intended the Christian life to be an exciting, abundant adventure. But most Christians don' t experience the abundant life. The life of joy and victory modeled and promised by our Lord is strangely foreign to them. Instead, they consider the Christian life a burden, a chore, a terrible cross to bear. They endure their Christianity on earth, hoping at last for relief in heaven.

K Jesus never intended for you to live a defeated, dreadful existence. He called you to a life of joy and victory. As a Christian, God has promised you a legacy of support, abundance, and joy. To us, Christianity is all too often a code of ethics, a philosophy of life, a standard of performance, but to those first-century Christians, it was a new quality of life altogether, and they did not hesitate to describe this as Christ living in them. Perhaps if we believed what they believed, we could achieve what they achieved.
