Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Colossians 3:3-4, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
The oneness between believers and the practice of the church are both dependent on the centrality of Christ.
Christ is the center.
Indeed, Christ Himself is the reality of the Christian life and the church life.
When Christ is my center, I am free from my self.
I am free from self-consciousness.
I am free from self-condemnation.
I am free from anxiety.
I am totally free because I died and my life is now hidden with Christ in God.
“It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).
Christ is our joy.
Christ is our encouragement.
Christ is our faith.
Christ is our living.
We interact with Him in everything in our lives.
We interact only with Christ.
Our interaction is not with ourselves–with self-reflection and self-condemnation.
Christ is our righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30).
He is “all and in all” to us (Col. 3:11).
Jesus Christ is the Christian life.
We need to look away to Him.
Look away from yourself.
Look away from your failure.
Look away from your bad mood.
Look away unto Jesus.
Christ is the centrality of everything in our Christian life.
He is the Christian life itself in every aspect.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
