August 10 Morning Devotional | Christ Is Our Life | Morning and Evening by Spurgeon
Morning, August 10 | “Christ, who is our life.” —Colossians 3:4 (NASB)
This Morning's Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:1-4 (NASB)
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
Devotional Video Transcript:
Paul’s marvellously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. “You hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.” (Ephesians 2:1) That same voice that brought Lazarus out of the tomb raised us to newness of life. He is now the substance of our spiritual life.
It is by his life that we live; he is in us, the hope of glory, the spring of our actions, the central thought which moves every other thought.
Christ is the sustenance of our life. What can the Christian feed upon but Christ, the living bread? “This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.” (John 6:50 NASB) O weary pilgrims in this wilderness of sin, you never get a morsel to satisfy the hunger of your spirits, except you find it in him!
Christ is the solace of our life. All our true joys come from him; and in times of trouble, his presence is our consolation. There is nothing worth living for but him; and his lovingkindness is better than life!
Christ is the object of our life. As speeds the ship towards the port, so hastes the believer towards the haven of his Saviour’s bosom. As flies the arrow to its goal, so flies the Christian towards the perfecting of his fellowship with Christ Jesus. As the soldier fights for his captain, and is crowned in his captain’s victory, so the believer contends for Christ, and gets his triumph out of the triumphs of his Master. “For him to live is Christ.” (Philippians 1:21)
Christ is the exemplar of our life. Where there is the same life within, there will, there must be, to a great extent, the same developments without; and if we live in near fellowship with the Lord Jesus we shall grow like him. We shall set him before us as our Divine copy, and we shall seek to tread in his footsteps, until he shall become the crown of our life in glory. Oh, how safe, how honored, how happy is the Christian, since Christ is our life!
