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.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 344. DECEMBER 10: GOD’S CHILDREN.
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.”
An Ancestral Advent Day 9: The Son of Perez.
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?
TLIC DAILY. DAY 343. DECEMBER 9: AN ADVOCATE.
“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.
An Ancestral Advent Day 8: The Son of Judah and Tamar.
In Christ, like Tamar we have the seed of righteousness in us. We are carrying Christ’s redemption within. His love and justice can be born in us today. May we courageously allow Jesus to be unveiled in our lives this Christmas season.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 342. DECEMBER 8: OUR FELLOWSHIP.
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.
To Live is Christ
