TLIC Psalms. September 21. Offspring of Abraham.
To live is Christ is to seek this same Lord’s presence in the same way that the psalmist envisions for the people of faith – continually. A reality made known to us by the continual presence of Christ in our very hearts by the Spirit.
TLIC Psalms. September 20. I Will Sing Praise to My God.
Christ in us protects us from this destruction. Union with Christ keeps our hearts rejoicing in the works and THE WORK of Christ for as long as we live, and as long as we have being, which in Christ is forever. Life without end. Joy without end. That’s to live is Christ.
TLIC Psalms. September 19. Filled with Good Things.
In Christ death is not the end. The return to dust is no longer God’s final word. Jesus has conquered death and the grave. Now our lives have ultimate meaning. Now the meaning of life isn’t “enjoy everything and die,” now to live is Christ is “enjoy God and live forever.”
TLIC Psalms. September 18. How Manifold Are Your Works!
All of these works should draw our hearts to the ultimate work of the Lord – the life and death of Christ. The violence and beauty of the cross. The glory of that same violence and beauty being alive in us. At once killing us and resurrecting us to the new life of to live is Christ.
TLIC Psalms. September 17. To Gladden the Heart of Man.
Until that day whenever we gather around the communion table and break the bread and drink the wine, may we remember that our union with Christ is union with his gladness. That to live is Christ is to live in the joy of our salvation.
