Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
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?
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.
This Advent season, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, lay your head on the rock of Bethel and hear God say, I am with you. I’ll never leave you. And I will bring you home.
This Christmas season may we be the sons of Abraham. The children of faith. Faith in all the promises of God. Faith in the return of THE Son. And faith in our union with Christ that sustains us in our waiting by his love.
This advent, while we wait upon the Lord’s return, while we wait for God’s coming flood, may we run, not into the ark of Christmas, but into the ark of Christ. His faithfulness. His salvation. His rest.
Are you walking with God by faith in that same exact promise? The promise that the hero will crush death once and for all, and we will never die.
To Live is Christ
