Christ lives in me. Galatians 2:20
Christ’s
life was more than His teaching, more than His work, even more than His death.
It was His life in the sight of God and man that gave value to what He said and
did and suffered. It is this life that He gives to His people and enables them
to live it out before men. It was the life in the new brotherhood of the Holy
Spirit that made both Jews and Greeks feel that there was some superhuman power
about Christ’s disciples. They gave living proof of the truth that God’s love
had come down and taken possession of them. Everything depends upon the life
with God in Christ being right.
It is the
simplicity and intensity of our life in Christ Jesus, and of His life in us,
that sustains us in our daily walk. It makes us conquerors over self and
everything that could hinder the Christ life. Through prayer, it gives us the
victory over the powers of evil.
The life
in Christ must be everything to us because Christ Himself lives in us. When
Jesus spoke the words “And be sure of this: I am with you always” (Matthew
28:20), He meant nothing less than this: “All day and every day, I am with you.
I am the secret of your life, your joy, and your strength.”
