“For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” Lk2.32
How do we measure the value of our lives to others? We may calculate it in a number of ways but one measure, which we should not overlook, is the presence of Christ in us. The Christian is the corporal presence of Jesus in the world. Our hands become His, hands, our feet, our mouth, may all express His goodness. The degree to which this is true of course is to be measured by the degree to which live out the words of the Baptizer, “He must increase but I must decrease.”
Our real life begins only after we have died to living only for ourselves. Our glory, is a reflected glory. Our glory, as the moon, is found in reflecting His glory, our value His value. Without the sun, the moon gives no light, without the Son, we too, would have no light to give. 12/26/2007 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
