Galatians 2:20 I have been
crucified with Christ…
I remember when I first
read that and thought what in the world? How in the world?
Welcome to Coffee Hour
with Chicklit Power and Faith-Filled Friday with Trench Classes United.
Have you ever seen that
movie The Passion? I’ll never forget when I did and how I finally understood
why all the bad that happened on crucifixion Friday really led to what we
celebrate as Good Friday. It is true that we won’t ever endure what He has in
all aspects of life; however, we are afforded, on a daily basis, at a minimum,
the opportunity to partake in His crucifixion.
How? I’m glad you asked.
Each and every time we die
to the desires of our flesh that are not pleasing to Him, in other words,
things that we wouldn’t do if He were in front of us, things that we would
never do, say or even think if we saw Him looking, we participate in that
crucifixion and validate the necessity of all He did on the cross and off!
When we participate in His
crucifixion, we can say with joy the rest of this verse: “--and I no longer
live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
May this Good Friday be
the beginning of a true understanding of what it is to be crucified with
Christ.
Love,
Kim-Evinda
