TUESDAY AT ECOLA

Thank you for your prayers as I head into my second day of teaching here. It is a refreshing time for me to revisit Galatians (a book we spent a year going through) and the exciting truths that it is Christ and Christ alone who redeemed us and it is Christ and Christ alone who will bring us to perfection.

Christ living in me, the staggering truth that I have the fullness of Christ. That the same Christ (the same Jesus who IS the smartest man who ever lived) who lived then in perfect flesh prepared and planned for Him by the Trinitarian God now lives in my redeemed flesh. Now I am a human vehicle of Divine Life. I am the light of the world.

Last night I challenged the students, as I have challenged you, to look in the mirror and say, ‘I am the light of the world.’ They chuckled...the ‘cringe factor’ at work. ‘Who me, you mean I am the light of the world?’ Yes, such is the complete redemption and authority of the Christ we serve who now indwells us. All that He demands of us He will be in us. ALL that He is, He is in us.

So much better than living a life trying not to do anything wrong-or conforming to a list of rules, especially the man made variety, He is making me into the kind of person who is simply prepared to do always what is right.

Isn’t true salvation breathtaking?
