This rest for our souls is only possible in Christ. Only when his accomplishments are enough for you. Only when his record is all you are relying upon. Only when “to live is Christ.”
TLIC DAILY. DAY 135. MAY 15: COME TO ME.

TLIC Daily. Day 15. January 15: But Noah.
“To live is Christ” is to enter the ark of Christ’s life. To leave behind the despair of our wicked hearts and embrace his rest. To cling to the righteousness of the one man, Jesus. The man who has received God’s favor. To let his resurrection power transform suffering and death into a beginning rather than an end.
TLIC Daily. Day 10. January 10: God rested.
“To live is Christ” means we are God’s finished work. His good work. There is absolutely nothing left for us to achieve, or produce, or prove in this life.
TLIC Daily. Day 319. November 15: Strive to enter that rest.
This rest for our souls is only possible in Christ. Only when he is enough. Only when he has finished the work. Only when his heart of gentleness and compassion satisfy your deepest longings. Only when his accomplishments are enough for you. Only when his record is all you are relying upon. Only when “to live is Christ.”
