To Prosper -- Let Jesus Live in You

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2)

Know that you are Beloved in Christ Jesus --

"To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." (Ephesians 1: 6)

This wish -- this prayer -- is God's top priority for you: "above all things".

Let's take a closer look at "prosper":

εὐοδόω -- prosper -- means to have a good journey.

This word is based on two elements:

eú, "well, good" and 3598 /hodós, "a journey on a particular road")

Jesus is our Good:

"And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

"And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God." (Luke 18: 18-19)  

Jesus is our and our Journey, our Way:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14: 6)

Jesus is your Good, and Jesus is your Journey.

Jesus is the Beloved of God the Father (Matthew 3: 17), and God sees you just as His own Son (1 John 4: 17)

When we rest in the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9: 6), when we let His righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14: 17) thrive within us, we will see our lives prosper.
