“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.
An Ancestral Advent Day 18: The Son of Jehoshaphat.
Stand. Not fight. Just stand. Stand and trust. Stand and praise. Stand and watch God apply the salvation of Christ to your specific fears. Stand strong in the Lord Jesus and in the power of his might as you wait for his return in victory.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 352. DECEMBER 18: THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“To live is Christ” means we have the mighty rushing wind of God’s Spirit in us.
An Ancestral Advent Day 17: The Son of Asaph and Amos.
God hasn’t left us alone in our waiting for the advent of Christ. He has left us with his inspired word.
TLIC DAILY. DAY 351. DECEMBER 17: BLAMELESS.
“To live is Christ” allows us to live this blameless life. No more blame means no more blame shifting. No more excuses or cover ups. Just perfect love allowing us to both take responsibility for our lives, and, at the same time to turn our lives over to Jesus.
An Ancestral Advent Day 16: The Son of Nathan.
Like Nathan before him, it is the name of Jesus that reminds us of all of our sin and all of God’s grace at the same time. It is the name of Jesus that will save his family, you and me, from our sins.
To Live is Christ
