"I have come back to life so you can live." Now that may sound like a strange thing to say to someone who's already alive. Don't you think? Could it be that Jesus thinks of life much different than we do?

In Mark 16, we read about the women heading to Jesus' tomb to anoint His body with spices. They knew it would be dangerous to enter the restricted area, but after witnessing the crucifixion and struggling with the emotional trauma of the loss, they felt compelled to go. Jill Briscoe expresses Christ's sacrifice through her poem "You Wore My Thorns."

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. We use the expression "from A to Z" in different ways, but usually the meaning has to do with completeness and thoroughness. What did Jesus mean?

Both ancient and modern Israel have seen great symbolic significance in the vine and its fruit. The prophets and psalmist used it repeatedly, so Jesus' claim to be "The True Vine" struck a responsive chord in the disciples. But what does it mean to us?

The opposition to Jesus intensified after the raising of Lazarus, so He withdrew to a small village with His disciples. His public ministry was practically completed, but He had many things to tell the disciples, including word of His imminent departure.

Jesus had proved His remarkable ability to heal, and many apparently accepted this without question. But He wished to show His ability to conquer death as well as disease. So He raised Lazarus.

Christ's claim to be the Good Shepherd has been a source of comfort and assurance to believers down through the centuries. But when the claim was made, some of His hearers were so incensed that they tried to kill Him - once again showing the challenging and controversial nature of His claims.

After the blind man had been thrown out of the synagogue (John 9:34), Jesus received him and, in so doing, set His authority over against that of the religious leaders. In case they missed the point, He added that He was the Door - and the only one at that!

Blind beggars were not uncommon in Christ's time. When He met one and healed him on the Sabbath, He stirred up a great controversy. But when He claimed to be the light of the world, the challenge was firmly laid down.

When Christ was living amongst men, He was always the center of controversy. The centuries since have seen no real change. The reason is that His claims and challenges are so extraordinary that they demand reaction. But when taken seriously, they lead to life abundant.

When it comes to your Christian life, if you are in Christ, you have life and no one can take it from you. But there are certain things that can rob you of your life. They can rob you of your joy, they can rob you of your growth, and they can rob you from experiencing life fully.
