Now get a picture in your mind of “a good life”.
What does it look like?
To most, it means a good job, good car, good house, good family and good retirement plan.
But what about the life with no job, no car, no house, no family, and definitely no retirement plan?
What about the young woman mentioned above?
Is that a good life?
What if I said maybe? Maybe this particular woman is living a good life?
Because life is knowing Jesus.
And knowing Jesus gives a joy unlike anything else.
How do you lose your whole life and still have a joy?
You don’t…
unless you have Jesus.
When the job is gone, the car breaks down, a child is lost or the money dwindles out, Jesus remains.
Joy remains.
Are you living the good life?
Don’t look at your bank account or the square footage on your house. Rather ask yourself - if you lost those things, would you still have joy?
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. – Matthew 16:25
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." - John 14:6
Are you living the good life?
