You have the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, living inside of you. Point to him. Not yourself. Point to the Shepherd. Point to his death and resurrection. Point to his eternal covenant. Point to “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 329. NOVEMBER 25: MOUNT ZION.
“To live is Christ” has moved you from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion! Today, will you worship God in the beauty of his glory and grace with all the saints and angels, trusting in Jesus, our great mediator, alone? Or will you run back to the terror of the law?
TLIC DAILY. DAY 328. NOVEMBER 24: LOOKING TO JESUS.
“To live is Christ” will you get you home. How do I know? Because you are the joy that has been set before Jesus. You are his prize. His reward. His love. And now he is yours. So look to him. And run. Run to the arms of the one who has already run to you.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 327. NOVEMBER 23: FAITH.
“To live is Christ” means placing all our hope in the unseen things of God. It is fixing our eyes on Jesus and his cross, where what was seen appeared godless and faith destroying, but what was unseen was the fullness of God in Christ.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 326. NOVEMBER 22: LET US.
How do you live when your conscience is finally clear? Faith, hope, and love. Unwavering hope in eternal life earned for us by Christ, and given to us in Christ. Fully assured faith ever drawing us toward our faithful God with all confidence. And thoughtful love that purposefully moves us toward each other in courage and kindness. This is the guilt free life. This is Christ’s church. This is “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 325. NOVEMBER 21: SANCTIFIED.
“To live is Christ” is to live from our full and free sanctification in Jesus, by Jesus, and for Jesus. Because we have been sanctified, we are being sanctified. Our consecration is now our response to our sanctification in Christ. Never the other way around.
To Live is Christ
