The Abundant Life

What is the abundant life?

Fear

"At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, ‘Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.’ He said to them, ‘Go and tell that fox for me, Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work'" (Luke 13:31-32 NRSV). The religious leaders want to motivate Jesus through fear, but he disregards the death threat because he is wholly motivated by something else.
