Thoughts For Today - 3/6/09

When a Christian is born of God and becomes a real Christian, he or she is made a Christ-man or Christ-woman. If the world wants to see Jesus, it must look upon the Christian, who is the Christ-man or Christ-woman, just as we who want to look upon the Father and understand Him, look upon the man Jesus, Who was the embodiment of the Father.

Everything that Jesus did was the will and the Word of the Father. So everything the Christian does, if he or she is a real one, should be the will and the Word of Jesus Christ.

The Christian commits him/herself as entirely to the will of Jesus, and becomes a Christ-man or Christ-woman as Jesus committed Himself to the will of the Father, and became a God-man.

In short, the secret of Christianity is not in doing. The secret is in being. Real Christianity is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ.

Much love,
Joseph
