"Jesus promised us life unto the fullest!" - sings the preachers and well wishers
Yes, that is indeed true. Jesus's life, death, and resurrection does indeed mean that his followers will have life!
Unfortunately, we fail to sing forth the twin truth that Jesus taught us that out of death, springs forth life! Out of an obedience and willingness to deny self and follow Him will be the foundation of our life.
What does this mean?
First of all, it means there is more to life than our comfort and possessions. A lot more. It also means that while God has promises us many good things - we also MUST accept a life and calling that is difficult and hard.
