¹⁰The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Vitamin C 

Dating back to prehistoric times, people recognized that certain foods were helpful in maintaining good health by preventing diseases such as scurvy. Those foods contained a substance that had not yet been identified. In 1932, that substance, which was eventually called Vitamin C, was identified and isolated.

Vitamin C was found to not only prevent certain diseases, but it also provides energy, helps the male reproductive process, builds cartilage, joints, skin and blood vessels, maintains the immune system, neutralizes pollutants, produces antibodies, increases nutrient absorption and thins the blood. Whew! God is awesome! He has provided Vitamin C and other things that naturally help us to maintain our physical health.

However, before Vitamin C was isolated and named in 1932, God had already provided another form of Vitamin C in the person of Jesus. Jesus, as Vitamin C, not only helps us to maintain good physical health, but He also makes it possible for us to have good mental and spiritual health. He gives life, and gives it more abundantly. Whereas, those prehistoric people recognized the importance of an unnamed substance which came to be known as Vitamin C, more than 2000 years ago we became aware of a more potent form of Vitamin C in our Savior Jesus Christ.

Prayer 

Gracious and Merciful God, we give You thanks for the gift of Jesus Christ who gives us life and that more abundantly. Amen.
