Is your life in Christ a gift to the world? A beacon of hope? A message of mercy? A response to injustice? May it be so this Christmas season and for as long as we wait for our Lord’s return.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 336. DECEMBER 2: IN HIS STEPS.
It is Jesus’ unbroken trust in God on the cross that saved us, and now his trust in God is the gift of our salvation. Trusting God’s justice and mercy. Trusting his grace and love. Trusting that “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 335. DECEMBER 1: FREE.
“To live is Christ” has made us truly free. Free to be a slave to God and servant of all. Empowered by all Christ’s own praise, glory, and honor (1:7), we can finally set aside our own pursuit of these things and enter into the true love of selfless service.
An Ancestral Advent December 1: The Son of Adam.
It is only when we experience “to live is Christ” that we will experience his peace on Earth. It is only when we see that “good will to man” is the man Christ Jesus that we will experience the grace of our union with God.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 334. NOVEMBER 30: RECEIVED MERCY.
“To live is Christ” is bold belonging. It is undeserved acceptance. And there’s nothing better in this world than that.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 333. NOVEMBER 29: RANSOMED.
“To live is Christ” is to be rescued, ransomed, and set apart in holiness. Rescued from the power of sin. Ransomed from the penalty of sin. And therefore set apart from sin’s pleasure into the greater pleasure of God’s grace in Christ.
To Live is Christ
