Subject: How does death work in us? |
Bible Note: Greetings terrib - great prose! Thanks for sharing that. In a rather twisted sort of way, I see a parallel to how death is at "work" to bring life. All too often I haven't let it do its work in me to remind me that my life is hidden in Christ and it is not I who live but Christ lives in me to will and to act and to accomplish HIS good purpose. (Which, hard as they are to understand, are always with what God knows is best for me in mind!) During a recent sermon, Hayes Wicker told the story of a Bhuddist's conversion to Christianity. When asked why he had "converted" the former Bhuddist replied that he came to a fork in the road where he had a choice to follow a dead man or a Man who is alive. He chose to follow Christ. Daily we, as believers, also have a choice: to follow the will of a "dead" man or the will of the One who is alive and living in us! Blessings, mommapbs |
