Pulpit Truth
"Christ is our life!"
|
I joyfully share with you today, incredible truth from the writings of Andrew Murray. May his rich insights prepare us for an incredible new year...â
Christ's life is more than historical facts concerning His birth, His teaching, His work, even more than His death. It was His unique and divine life in the presence of God and man that gave value to all that He said and did. And it is this life, glorified in the resurrection, that He imparts to His people, enabling them to live victoriously in spite of any upsetting trials or circumstances. |
Spiritual leaders agree that the life of believers is either the greatest asset, or the greatest obstacle, in the winning of souls to Christ. Too many church members miss this deepest of spiritual truths because they do not understand, nor do they truly believe, this message of the indwelling Christ. When Jesus sent out His disciples it was with this command: "But stay in the city of Jerusalem until you have been endued with power from on high." (Luke 24:49)â
Everything in missions and ministry depends upon this life with God in Christ being right. The simplicity and intensity of our lives in Christ, and of His life in us, makes us more than conquerors over selfish desires, as well as anything else, that would hinder His purposes for us from being realized. The Christ life will give us power over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Christ is life! And when He lives in you and me, every moment of everyday, as He promised in His word, you and I can live our lives to the fullest. He is our strength; He is our joy; He is our peace; He is our LIFE!
