Contrast

Question to think about: Is Christ visible in your life?

Chaos.
Order.

Ending.
New beginnings.

Impossibilities.
Possibilities.

Exhausted.
Energized.

Dark.
Light.

Death.
Life.


Why do individuals choose such contrasting ways to live?

The thing is . . . we often think we don't have a choice in the way we live because of circumstances; however, we do have a choice through Christ.

Christ, God with us, demonstrated the way we are designed to live. Meditate on the fact that God came:
So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also." (John 8:19, NASB)


The story does not end . . . God is present.
"If you love me, show it by doing what I've told you. I will talk to the Father, and he'll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take him in because it doesn't have eyes to see him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!" (John 14:15-17, The Message)

Choose to live in Christ.
Experience more.

Learning with you to live in Christ,
