“To live is Christ” is exaltation and glory by God but only through our humility and dependence on Christ. May Christ’s humble heart for us humble our own hearts for him.
An Angelic Advent. Day 3: A little lower than the angels.

“To live is Christ” makes all our suffering a reason to rejoice. Not because we suffer, but because in suffering we can share in Christ, and in his acceptance by God.
An Angelic Advent Day 2: The great dragon was thrown down.
We can rejoice in the midst of this great battle. How? Because our dwelling is no longer the earth and sea, but ours are the heavenly places, for we are seated with Christ at the right hand of God. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! That’s us!
TLIC Daily. Day 336. December 2: Follow in his steps.
But lest we slip backwards once again into law, let us not forget that the cruciform life is primarily this – entrusting our lives to him who judges justly. It is Jesus’ unbroken trust in God on the cross that saved us. And now that 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.”
