Is Jesus Working Through You?

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” 

COLOSSIANS 1:27

 

PONDER THIS

In the gospels, you find out what Jesus did in His human body. In the Book of Acts, you find out what Jesus is doing in His spiritual body, the Church. Jesus is still active and alive on the Earth today, and He still has a body. In the gospels, it was His material, physical body. Now, it is the Body of Christ, the Church.

You see, we’re not here just imitating the Lord Jesus. Any New Testament church is the body of Jesus. We are Him. He is in us. We are the visible part of the invisible Jesus, and He is the invisible part of the visible Church. We must let the thought get into us that Christ began in the gospels, but He continues in us today; the Church of Jesus Christ is the Body of Christ on Earth.

We need to stop doing things for Jesus. We need to start letting Him do something through us. If the Christian life is lived where you hang your hat, where you go to work, and where you go to school, it will not be you living it; it will be Jesus living it in you. If you’re doing things for Jesus, that’s superficial, but if Jesus is doing something through you, it is supernatural.

How have you seen the Body of Christ at work in your area?

What does it look like to let Christ do something through us instead of doing things for Him?

PRACTICE THIS

Encourage your fellow church members today in their purpose to be the Body of Christ.
