Christ in You

The Million Dollar Life

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

 

Christ was stripped of His clothes on the cross

So that He might put you on

And show the riches of His Glory

 “Christ in You”

Today when I was looking for a shirt to wear,

 I discovered most of my shirts are a shade of blue.

 

Every morning I think about what I am going

to do and pick a shirt I think fits the day.

What you and I wear each day makes a difference

 in how we feel and how others judge us.

Therefore it is very important that I think

 about what I am going to put on.

I need to think about putting on the

 right clothes and putting on Christ.

If this thing of what we put on is so important…

 What does God wear?  What does the ONE who owns it all wear?

The one that owns the earth and the fullness of it?

You might say a white robe.

 Good answer – But the fact of the matter is…

 It has been a mystery down through the ages.

Not too long ago, according to God’s

calendar, He revealed what He wears.

2000 year ago God chose to reveal His

 glorious riches with a new wardrobe.

Are you ready for this?  IT IS CHRIST IN YOU!!!

God chose to clothe Himself with you to show His glorious riches.

And in doing so… To give the world the “Hope of Glory”.

I could never understand why people

would buy old jeans with holes in them.

 

But God brought you and I up to do His work and show His glory.

Through every hole and imperfection, shines His mercy and grace.

NOW how does it feel to be the clothes

of the richest person in the universe?

Let Christ wear you with pride today.

 

 Scripture Reading

Ephesians 1:17-19 NIV

 18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,

Luke 12:22-29 NIV

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27 "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!

Colossians 1:25-29 NIV

25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29 To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
