I NO LONGER LIVE?
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me….
(Galatians 2:20 NKJV)
It’s easy to say: “I am crucified with Christ, I no longer live,” etc. But, the truth is that we are more attached than we think to our ways of thinking and living.
- I am crucified with Christ.
How does a crucified body behave?
If someone who is crucified is offended with words, they don’t have the luxury to get off the cross to argue.
Someone who is dead no longer feels, they don’t care if someone yells or says rude things. The dead don’t hear . So we shouldn’t be hurt by the offenses of others. We shouldn’t hear so many negative words from toxic people.
- I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…
For what was Christ alive in that season and for what do you think he would be alive today ?
What would be important to Jesus in this time and what wouldn’t?
What do you think He would dedicate His resources towards? How would Christ be living during this pandemic?
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me….
(Galatians 2:20 NKJV)
Think about it:
Does Christ truly live in you?
Do you continue to get affected by the offences and criticism of others ?
Are you living this pandemic serving God? or your own desires?
