Has “to live is Christ” become your only hope in life and death? Has your union with Christ allowed you the freedom to say with Simeon, “Now I can depart in peace?”

TLIC DAILY. DAY 357. DECEMBER 23: ON EARTH PEACE.
So hear the invitation of God today to go and find the Christ child. The Prince of Peace. The one who takes all our sins and all our sorrows and turns them into everything good. The one that will take us to be with him forever. Run to him. Embrace him and embrace your alien God.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 356. DECEMBER 22: HE WILL SAVE.
It is Christ’s death and resurrection alone that saves us. These are the two heroic acts that rescue us from the darkness and carry us into the light. Christ’s death saves us from guilt, fear, slavery, sin, death, strife, eternal sorrow, and brokenness, and Christ’s resurrection saves us into innocence, boldness, freedom, love, life, peace, eternal joy, and relationship. Into “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 355. DECEMBER 21: HIS NAME.
His name is our name now. His name is written on our hearts. Yahweh saves is who we are and what we do. His name shared with us in Christ. His name written upon our hearts making “to live is Christ” our identity, our mission, our glory, forever. Amen.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 354. DECEMBER 20: GOD WITH US.
God’s answer to Joseph is the same answer that we have all heard. God with us is now “to live is Christ.” The end of all our confusion. The answer to all of life’s questions.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 353. DECEMBER 19: MAGNIFY THE LORD.
“To live is Christ” means that we, like Mary, have Christ in us. And we, like Mary, are on a journey of faith, dependence, and commitment. May our songs this Christmas magnify the Lord, declaring the salvation of God in Christ his son. Amen.
To Live is Christ
