We
have been made to live for Christ, in Christ, and representing Christ to
others.
There
is a plan for our lives, which we are living in to. It is as if the blueprint exists, but now we
are building according to that design.
We could call it our “Design for Christian Living.”
During
this season of Lent, we who follow Christ seek to re-design our lives along the
pattern that Jesus has prepared. In
order to do that, we share in action of learning, of wellness, and of
self-denial
We
die to the old self.
We
put on the new identity – designed in God’s image.
A
tremendous amount of love, care, thought, and energy has been spent on that
design, already. God initiated it. God supports it.
By
the power of the Holy Spirit, we are becoming what God has planned us to be.
When
I say this, I mean “we” as in each one of us; and I also mean “we” as in all of
us, together.
As the Sundays in Lent continue, please look for sermons and additional thoughts on the subject of "Design for Christian Living" each week..
