Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
To live is Christ is a shared righteousness with Jesus that longs for his return.
To live is Christ means no more fear of what man may do to us (or say about us). Jesus is our refuge of peace that allows us to receive criticism and look at it honestly, without defending, and without condemnation.
Now, to live is Christ, has left us free from the fear of death’s great silencing. Free to weep in faith. Free to flood the bed with tears of the hope of heaven. Free to pray to a God who always accepts our brokenness. For he was broken for us.
To live is Christ means living each day under this sure defense. And it means joining in praise with all who take refuge in him.
One thing we can know for sure as we lay on our beds at night and all the stresses of the day lay in a pile next to us is that Christ is with us. The shining light of his presence illuminates our hearts. No fear, no shame, no anger can darken his light of love. It is forever. It is no matter what. It is to live is Christ.
May we today and every day pray, “Come Lord Jesus!”, while we remember that our Lord Jesus has already come into our hearts. This new year may we live as if “to live is Christ.”
