Living the Crucified Life (#147)
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me” (Galatians 2:20).
The
events of the past days (Easter season) have made me reflect on the whole
subject of suffering.
And well
it should. I have been reminded of the
greatest act of suffering and redemption known to man – the Passion of Jesus
Christ.
Were it
not for the resurrection it would have been in vain. Thank God Jesus rose again and completed this
mission – the salvation of mankind.
As
Christians we also face suffering and persecution at various levels, in various
ways.
Having
been to quite a few funerals recently, I am acutely aware that we are not
immune to the sad realities of life.
Yet in spite
of it all we are still able to cope; we live the crucified life with Jesus and
get strength by the “faith of the Son of
God” – the ever-living, ever-loving
One.
