Are you living in this fellowship of Christ with others? If you’re not, then you’re probably not experiencing Jesus as God intends. Your joy probably isn’t full. And “to live is Christ” is probably not how you describe your life.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Are you living in this fellowship of Christ with others? If you’re not, then you’re probably not experiencing Jesus as God intends. Your joy probably isn’t full. And “to live is Christ” is probably not how you describe your life.
This Advent season, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, lay your head on the rock of Bethel and hear God say, I am with you. I’ll never leave you. And I will bring you home.
“To live is Christ” means never, ever, ever, decreasing in our need for grace.
This Christmas season may we be the sons of Abraham. The children of faith. Faith in all the promises of God. Faith in the return of THE Son. And faith in our union with Christ that sustains us in our waiting by his love.
The more and more you believe that you have freely and graciously been given everything you need for life and godliness by your Savior King you will, quite naturally, be determined to add these gifts on to your life by faith in Christ.
This advent, while we wait upon the Lord’s return, while we wait for God’s coming flood, may we run, not into the ark of Christmas, but into the ark of Christ. His faithfulness. His salvation. His rest.
