It´s all about Jesus Christ!

Tonight me and my wife celebrated Jesus Christ by taking the Lord´s supper, praying and reading the Bible together as we usually do in the evenings. Not because we have to, but because we want to. Not because we´re very spiritual, but because we´re very ordinary and therefore need His grace to carry us everyday. We have found that for us, it´s a good way to end the day, focusing on the Person that´s more important for us than anything or anyone else!
When we prayed and talked tonight, we found ourselves repeating one sentence over and over again, and that sentence was: "It´s all about Jesus!"
It´s a really simple statement but it´s really profound. Why?
Because He´s everything!
He´s everything that the Father loves.
He´s the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
He´s the Lion of Judah.
He´s the Alfa and Omega.
He´s the risen Lord.
He is our High Priest and intercessor.
He is the healer and the restorer of our soul.
He´s the one that justifies us and ever lives to make intercession for us.
He´s our wisdom, righteoussness, sanctification and redeemer.
He´s the Lover of our soul.
He´s the head and we are the body.
He´s the author and perfector of our faith.
he´s the one that baptises us in the Holy Spirit.
He´s our redemption.
He´s the way, the truth and the life.
He´s the one building his church.
He´s our life
I could go on and on talking about Jesus Christ and how glorious and perfect He is.
By the power of His indwelling life we can live the Christian life. Only by being in him and by His indwelling in us, can we live the life He´s called us to live. One pastor friend use to tell the congregation when introducing me: "Today, Christ in Martin will minister to you..."
I like that way of looking at ministry, because without Him we have nothing, and can do nothing.
But with when He´s doing it, all things are possible!

Sometimes we tend to forget that and by doing so, we make the life with Christ a set of principles to live by, turning the New Testament into a Law book, and we exchange a living and loving relationship with almighty God for dead works and boring rituals.
When we forget that we become self centered and look to our own works to find life and purpose, but we never will.
When we forget that we turn freedom into lawlessness.
When we forget that we end up with dead religion unable to save, heal or restore anyone, because only He´s able to do that!
So let´s remember: It´s all about Jesus Christ!

Grace and peace be with you...

Restarting my blog

Grace and peace to all of you!
