In a world of darkness, in the long waiting for the salvation of our God, will your love story, the story of your union with Christ, shine his light into that darkness around you?
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
In a world of darkness, in the long waiting for the salvation of our God, will your love story, the story of your union with Christ, shine his light into that darkness around you?
If you can see yourself as God’s child, born of God, participating in his own nature, then, you might just find that your doing has begun to match your being. You might just find that your “to live” looks like it “is Christ.”
Now we wait for the rescue. For the great advent. The world around us will shake and crumble. But our Beloved has seen our faith and will come just in time to bring us home to his land, his family, his heart.
When our glorious brother and savior-king looks on us with his eyes of perfect love and grace, then we will know fully “to live is Christ.”
Christian, are you desperately reaching out your hand, grasping for what’s yours? Are you waiting impatiently for the glory God owes you? Are you managing your own rise to glory? Or are you waiting patiently for Jesus to burst forth out of your weakness in his timing?
“To live is Christ” means that when we sin we have a propitiation and a parakletos. We have an advocate whose blood speaks a better word for us. Better than all our excuses and all our broken promises.
