Have Life and Have It More Abundantly

The Benefits of Jesus’ Sufferings: Abundant Life Now (Matt on a Mission w/ Tim Ashton)

In this episode of Matt on a Mission, host Reverend Matthew Knighton welcomes author Tim Timothy Ashton to discuss insights from his book The Benefits of Jesus’ Sufferings, focusing on chapter one, “Have Life and Have It More Abundantly.” They explain that Jesus’ passion accomplished more than forgiveness and heaven, and that believers often miss present-day benefits available through Christ. Citing Romans 8:16–17, they emphasize that Christians are children of God and joint heirs with Christ, with access to God’s promises now. They explore the meanings of “salvation” in Hebrew (Yeshua/yesha) and Greek (soteria/soso), describing deliverance, preservation, help, healing, and wholeness as present possessions. Referencing John 3:16–17 and John 10:10, they encourage listeners to search Scripture for these promises and live in God’s abundant life today.
