November 7, 2023 – Find True Abundance Through Jesus
John 6:35
Sermon: 2251 Joseph: A Portrait of Jesus, Part 1
Pray Over This
“And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’”
John 6:35
Ponder This
Do you know what the name Joseph means? It means “abundance or the one who adds to.” It means “a multiplier.” That’s what Joseph was. What does the name Jesus mean? It means “Jehovah Saves.” And He is also the one whose life is full of abundance. Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). Who is the thief? Satan. He is the great subtractor. But Jesus said, “I’ve come that you might have life, and have it abundantly.” He is the Joseph who adds to, who multiplies, and who gives abundance.
A little girl once saw a communion table at the front of the sanctuary. And the little girl had just been learning math, the plus signs, and the minus signs. She looked and saw the cross on the communion table, and she asked her mother, “Why is the plus sign there?” It is a funny question but carries a serious reminder, Jesus Christ died upon that cross to add to us life and to give it abundantly.
- How has Jesus added to your life?
- Why is it important to remember Jesus is the only one who gives in spiritual abundance?

Thank God for the opportunity to receive abundant life through Jesus.
