I was just reading this morning and came across this scripture and I could not help but reflect on the sheer magnitude of this statement. OMG. My heart was just flooded with emotions of gratitude.
As leaders, there is one personal journey question that only you can answer: How real is Christ to you, today?
Wherever we are on the continuum, the meer fact that we are reading this question, it shows that we are still on this growth journey.
Sometimes we get tossed to and fro in our minds and with the many challenges of life. But, it is helpful to return to our home base of certainty and comfort – Christ.
Remembering the scriptures that say: “For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
Today is a good day to just enter into his presence, just adore him, and to lay all of our cares/sins at the feet of Jesus at the cross. Christ is over every power and authority.
Hosanna in the highest!”
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him.
Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life.
Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.
Don’t let anyone fool you by using senseless arguments. These arguments may sound wise, but they are only human teachings.
They come from the powers of this world and not from Christ.
God lives fully in Christ. And you are fully grown because you belong to Christ, who is over every power and authority.
Christ has also taken away your selfish desires, just as circumcision removes flesh from the body.
And when you were baptized, it was the same as being buried with Christ. Then you were raised to life because you had faith in the power of God, who raised Christ from death.
You were dead, because you were sinful and were not God’s people.
But God let Christ make you alive, when he forgave all our sins.
God wiped out the charges that were against us for disobeying the Law of Moses. He took them away and nailed them to the cross. There Christ defeated all powers and forces.
He let the whole world see them being led away as prisoners when he celebrated his victory.
Don’t let anyone tell you what you must eat or drink. Don’t let them say you must celebrate the New Moon festival, the Sabbath, or any other festival.
These things are only a shadow of what was to come. But Christ is real!”
