Chris' prayer: Kutless' "I Lift My Eyes Up"

Tonight, I went to Exalt!, my church's praise and worship/Adoration/Holy Hour. For the testimony, my Youth Ministry Director was asked to give a talk on new life. It was fitting that he was giving the talk, seeing how he and his wife had given birth to their first child just three weeks prior.

To begin his talk, Bob read from the tenth chapter of John:

10 I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.

How perfect it was, then, to come home tonight and listen to today's song, where Jon Sumrall sings the same thing: to come and give me life. Sometimes I think, as Christians, we get caught up in Good Friday– Jesus coming to die for our sins, and, as strange as it sounds, overlook, or diminish Easter Sunday. Yes, the dying for our sins part is very important, but it is the rising that is crucial- He came that we might have life.
