The Greatest Promise on the Planet! Jesus Christ stood before a crowd and made this staggering statement: "My purpose is to give life in all of its fullness." Those who heard Jesus that day understood "fullness" to mean "excessively, exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond anything we can imagine." Jesus was saying that the very reason he stepped out of eternity and into time was to shower people-any who would accept it-with so much goodness and grace and vitality of life that it's almost illegal! It is, quite frankly, the greatest promise on the planet.
