Speak and act like the child of mercy that you are. That’s “to live is Christ.”

Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Speak and act like the child of mercy that you are. That’s “to live is Christ.”
Now “to live is Christ” means no more fear and trembling in God’s presence. No more standing far off. No more “get away God.” No more fear of death. No more testing. No more thick darkness.
“To live is Christ” means we are dealt with each day by the paradoxical left handed power of that grace. The power of sacrificial love and kindness.
Before you do anything else behold the mercy of God. And then speak and act like the child of mercy that you are. That’s “to live is Christ.”
Before you do anything else behold the mercy of God. And then speak and act like the child of mercy that you are. That’s “to live is Christ.”
“To live is Christ” means that Jesus as our judge is good news! In him, our judgment day has already occurred. We have already passed through the fires of judgment day in our dying with him on the cross. And, in him, we have already passed from death into life by our resurrection with him. Now, in Christ’s eternal forgiveness, we can live free from the fear of all judgment. And we can live free from the need to judge all others. Jesus is the judge. Not you. Not me. And that too is good news.
