The Essence Of His Death!
In times like these, many rejoice to experience the atmosphere of Easter, putting in all the needed preparations to grace the period. But have you taken the time to critically analyse the essence of Christ's death in your life?
We all like sheep, have gone astray... (Isaiah 53:6). We go by our daily routines, forgetting the vital reason for which we are still living.
Nothing on earth here, can measure against the great sacrifice of Christ's death for you. But what relevance do you place on this? Do you live to commensurate Christ's sacrifice for you? If not in same measure, have you showed a little effort to live to that? Be truthful to yourself.
Christ died, that you will be set free from bondage. But what are you doing? You are gradually drifting back into the same bondage from which you have been saved. Meanwhile, that is not the essence of his death for you.
The essence of Christ's death for you is that you may be saved and reconciled back to God (your first love). That you live not for yourself, but for God (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). Is that what you are doing now? Ask yourself!
Do not grieve the Lord any more. Repent and make the sacrifice of his death relevant and worthy in your life. For just like the signpost, your life is directing as many people as you don't know. And the question is, where are you directing them to? Are you directing them to Christ, the world or to yourself?
Be mindful of this, and redirect your ways. For the essence of Christ's death must be made relevant in your life, so that all will see and give glory to the father (Matthew 5:16). This should be your agenda till the Lord comes. Enough of the disappointment.
Stay Blessed!
1 Peter 3:18, John 15:13, Romans 5:8-10, Hebrews 9:15, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Philippians 1:21, Romans 14:9.
Shalom!!!
