Now there is shining into our hearts an eternal hope in his eternal goodness and grace. Now there is the light of love.
April 21, 2020. Day 112: In him was life.
“To live is Christ” means that Jesus is far more than our example for how to live. He IS our life. We are made alive by our union with his life and we live from our union with his life. This is abundant life, for it is the life of grace and freedom. No longer must we figure life out. No longer must we self-actualize. No. Life has been lived for us by Jesus, and now it is lived through us by Jesus. And together with Jesus we will live in love forever.
April 20, 2020. Day 111: The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
“To live is Christ” is “to live is the Trinity.” It is only by the overflowing love of the Trinity for each other that we are loved, saved, and joined by faith into the very life of God. Praise him!
April 19, 2020. Day 110: In the beginning was the Word.
In Christ we have not only the written word, we have the life giving power of the Living Word.
April 18, 2020. Day 109: He is coming says the Lord of hosts.
“To live is Christ” is to be hope realized. We are what Israel waited 400 years to be – the treasured possession of the Lord. And at the second coming of Christ we will be spared by God because of the Son who served him. And so today may we be the living temple of the Lord God. And through our lives may others see THE Righteous Servant of the Lord. Jesus our Savior.
April 17, 2020. Day 108: The latter glory shall be greater than the former.
“To live is Christ” is to fear not. It is to be strong. It is to keep working for the Lord is with you. Because the latter glory will be greater than the former glory.
To Live is Christ
