Colossians 3:3 ………. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God
At Calvary’s cross, when we give our lives to Jesus, a divine exchange takes place.
We give all that we have and all that we are to Jesus and Jesus gives Himself to us. Effectively, we die to our old life, to our former way of life, and we give ourselves completely to Jesus asking Him to be our Lord and Saviour.
If we foolishly hold on to anything, that thing, that attribute, characteristic, skill or talent, will, in time, become our weak point; our Achilles’ heal. It will become the access point through which the enemy can enter into our lives to destroy us.
However, if we absolutely give our all to Jesus, His life becomes our life and our lives are hidden with Christ in God. When God the Father looks at us He will see Jesus. When anyone and everyone looks at us, our life and lifestyle, they will see Jesus. When our lives are truly hidden in Christ, we will no longer be seen but Christ will be seen in us.
The secret is to remain hidden. We must make every effort not to want to be noticed, not to want some of God’s glory for ourselves. Our aim has to be to remain dead and hidden in Christ.
Lord Jesus, please let it be you that others see when they look at me. Amen
