The Good LifeSample

Have you ever gotten something new that almost immediately caused you to forget about something old? It isn’t that the old one was bad, but the latest shoes, phone, or video game just kind of made the old one worthless to you. This is how Paul describes what knowing Jesus is like. Of course, that doesn’t mean we start hating everything that isn’t praying or reading our Bible. Paul is talking more about a change in perspective, saying when we realize how good Jesus is, how good the life is Jesus leads us to, we will see nothing else can give us what Jesus can. The way to a fuller life, a good life, is through Jesus. Nothing else can do it for us. Is there something you hope will give you the good life but hasn’t been delivered?
