Christ Is Our Life
By Rich Carmicheal
This issue of the Herald could change your life. The Lord Jesus Christ – He can change your life! That is definitely true! No matter what the condition or circumstances of your life, Jesus can meet you there and work wonders in and through your life. Consider with me some of the reasons why we can place all of our confidence and hope in Him, even (or especially!) in the most difficult of times:
1. His Person, His work and His resources are all-encompassing. The glory, character, nature, ministry and ability of our Lord Jesus Christ are beyond what we can fully grasp. Nevertheless, the Bible and our own experience as believers gives us a wonderful idea of how awesome and able He is. For example, we know that He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End (Rev. 1:8), the Bread of Life (John 6:35), the Captain of our Salvation (Heb. 2:10), the Deliverer (Rom. 11:26), the Everlasting Father (Isa. 9:6), the First and the Last (Rev. 1:17), the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), the Head of the church (Eph. 1:22), the “I Am” (John 8:58), Jesus (Matt. 1:21), King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Tim. 6:15), the Light of the world (John 8:12), the Lord of all (Acts 10:36), the Mighty God (Isa. 9:6), the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6), the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25), the Rock (1 Cor. 10:4), the Savior (Luke 2:11), the Son of God (Matt. 2:15), the True Vine (John 15:1) and the Word of God (Rev. 19:13).
Of course, many more names and descriptions of Christ could be listed, but even these few reveal His glory and power. Nothing is beyond the scope of who He is and what He is able to do. In Him there is salvation, deliverance, peace, forgiveness, joy, healing, provision, protection, wisdom, encouragement, comfort, strength, power, and the list goes on indefinitely! Our God is able to “supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”! (Phil. 4:19).
2. He promises to always be with us and He actually dwells in us! Read the names and descriptions above again with these truths in mind – this is the Christ who is with us and in us! Incredible! With His presence, power, love, life, grace – again, the list goes on and on – at work within us, we can endure anything, overcome anything, and accomplish anything according to His purposes. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13). “…For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” (Heb. 13:6).MORE
