” And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
2 Cor 5:18-19
Jesus is not bigger in your community than he is big in you, if Christ in you does not work miracles then that’s the kind of Jesus that your community will know, if Jesus in you forgives sinners then that’s the Jesus your community will be acquainted with. We are the expression of the attitude, character, and person of Jesus in our world today. What we are doing is what God is doing , what we are not doing is what God is not doing. God worked through Jesus to reconcile the world to himself, but Jesus is now in heaven, and he sent us to be his representatives, and he gave us his spirit. My question is HOW ARE WE REPRESENTING JESUS CHRIST IN OUR DAY?
If the Christ in you was the only Christ in the whole world, what would the whole world say of him? I suppose in some people there is little or no expression of Christ at all in their lives so much so that you would mistaken them for religious sinners. What Jesus did we are called to continue. If you wanted to know my vision, it’s that simple. Jesus came to give men life, and he is alive in me, and his ministry has not changed. The Jesus in bible days is the same Jesus at work in me, his love has not changed, his healing power has not changed, Christ in me and Christ in Galilee is the same. The picture of Jesus many have is about a guy who lived years ago , whom some folks claim is alive. Paul, however, was in the business of not only making claims but producing undeniable proof that Jesus is alive TODAY.
The works of Jesus TODAY are the only authentic proofs that he is alive. Anybody can claim that Jesus washed him from sin, but a blind person can not just lie that he is seeing, so there must be tangible proof that he indeed is a healing Jesus. We may debate about what history says, but when we have TODAY’S proofs , we can conclude that the bible was indeed correct. The Jesus we reflect is the only Jesus some other fellows will ever see. Be conscious that people watch you to learn about Jesus.
