August 2, 2020. Day 215: The aroma of Christ.
When we choose to embrace his cruciform life, our sacrificial love will always be the aroma of the crucified Christ to others.
August 1, 2020: Day 214: Yes in him.
“To live is Christ” means we are the living embodiment of God’s great big YES. All of his promises are fulfilled in Christ and now in us. How do we know? Because he has anointed and sealed us with himself, the Spirit, by the indwelling life of Christ. God has preserved us for future glory. Now we can say yes to God. Yes to serving. Yes to sacrifice. Yes to love.
July 31, 2020. Day 213: We share abundantly in comfort too.
“To live is Christ” means we are never alone in our suffering, and we are never meant to leave others alone in theirs. May the God of all comfort grant us the comfort of Christ’s love and life in our suffering. May we reject selfish isolation, and embrace the ministry of shared suffering and shared comfort today and every day until Jesus returns for his bride.
July 30, 2020. Day 212: Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
“To live is Christ” is to live in his steadfast, immovable, abounding love so that we might live today from his eternal work of love.
July 29, 2020. Day 211: Death is swallowed up in victory.
“To live is Christ” is to swallow evil. No more running. No more hiding. No more revenge. Because death, evil, and suffering can no longer defeat us, we can now face them with the resurrection power of Christ. Transforming them into his life and love, his goodness and service.
