Christ Is Our Life

-August 14, 2022-

Good morning, happy Lord’s Day,

“When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

(Colossians 3:4).

So many people live for so many different things, searching in vain for what is missing in their lives. They are looking for meaning, fulfillment, and peace, which only come through Jesus. The problem is that do not have Christ nor do they seek Him. If Christ is not your life and in your life, you will never be truly happy in life.

Paul said in our verse, “When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” He had such faith in confidence in His Lord and Savior. When He appears at His coming or we die in Christ, we will see Him and be with Him in glory. John wrote in 1 John 2:28, “And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.”

Some people say, “I live for my family, or “I live for my career,” or “I live for the weekends.” Sadly, none of these or anything else in this world can even come close to Christ. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:5). We who know Jesus, have life eternal and abundant. Every believer should say, “I live for Christ, who is my life.” When He is worth living for, He worth dying for. Paul wrote, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).

The hymn writer Charles H. Gabriel wrote, “When all my labors and trials are o’er, and I am safe on that beautiful shore, just to be near the dear Lord I adore will through the ages be glory for me. O that will be glory for me, glory for me, glory for me; when by His grace I shall look on His face, that will be glory, be glory for me.”

May the Lord help us to abide in Him, live completely for Him, and serve Him until we see Him face to face. He is our life.

Have a blessed day thanking, praising, and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ. Stay safe and healthy.

Looking for His coming,

Dean
