Pura Vida

Pura Vida…(4/10/2007)

“Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.” John 1:4 HCSB

Pure life! Many of us dream about the “Pure life”. Something about changing the latitude that changes the attitude. Costa Rica is one of the most wonderful and beautiful places that I have ever visited! Its diversity attracts families to its shores looking for the pure life. This paradise of tropical jungles is home to unique species of flora and fauna for family travelers. Rich in culture and tradition, Costa Rica offers life and sunshine for anyone who has time to kill and doesn’t mind getting away. The problem is that we cannot always get away! Jesus offers “Pura Vida”. Scripture teaches “life” was in him. Since He created all things, He is the Fountain of life! He is the life giver. The Greek word for “life” is Zoe, and the Zoe being spoken of in John chapter one has exclusive reference to a spiritual life! So through His life, we can experience a spiritual life. The Greek word for “light” is “Phos” and it is not being used in a spiritual sense. What does this tell us then? It tells us that each person has been given the light, but not all will accept it. Light is the revelation of who Jesus is! He is the light of men and only in Him is the “life”. Are you experiencing “Pura Vida” with Jesus? Ask Him to give you life and light today! I love you all!
